Garden Designer in Brighton
Bespoke garden design for Brighton homes, coastal gardens, terraces and compact town plots. Thoughtful outdoor spaces shaped around privacy, planting, structure and the way you live.
Town and Coastal Gardens With Structure, Privacy and Planting Depth
Brighton gardens are often full of possibility: compact courtyards, steep plots, exposed coastal spaces, period terraces, family gardens and homes where every square metre needs to work hard.
Andrew Staib begins by understanding the house, levels, boundaries, views, privacy, light and the way you want to live outdoors. From there, he creates a clear structure for seating, movement, planting and practical details.
The result is a garden that feels personal and settled, with planting and materials chosen for Brighton's light, wind, chalk and urban character.

A Practical Design Approach for Brighton Gardens
Brighton gardens need to balance atmosphere with usability: privacy, wind, storage, entertaining, planting and the relationship between house and garden all matter.
Making Compact Gardens Feel Generous
Many Brighton gardens are narrow, overlooked or split across levels. Andrew uses proportion, paths, terraces, planting and focal points to make the space feel coherent rather than cramped.
Planting for Coast, Chalk and City Life
Planting is chosen for texture, movement, shelter and resilience. The aim is a garden that can handle Brighton's light and exposure while still feeling lush, personal and full of seasonal interest.
Brighton Gardens, Coast and Townscape
Brighton does not have the same old location-research note as some of the village pages, but this section keeps the location hub anchor useful and gives local context for garden design in the city.
Brighton gardens are often compact, exposed, overlooked or split across levels. Courtyards, terraces, family gardens and coastal plots all need careful decisions about privacy, storage, seating, wind, light and planting.
The city’s coastal position and chalky soils affect plant choice and material selection. Andrew designs with those conditions in mind, aiming for gardens that feel settled, usable and full of seasonal interest rather than simply decorative.
Good Brighton garden design also needs to work with the house and the street around it. Boundaries, views, level changes and the relationship between indoor and outdoor rooms are considered from the start.
