Garden Designer in Crowborough
Bespoke garden design for Crowborough homes and High Weald gardens. Natural planting, strong structure and outdoor spaces shaped around the site and the way you live.
Gardens for Leafy, Elevated High Weald Settings
Crowborough gardens often have mature trees, slopes, changing views and a strong relationship with the High Weald landscape. A good design brings clarity without losing that natural character.
Andrew Staib looks carefully at levels, soil, shade, privacy, shelter and the way the garden connects to the home. The layout then gives the space practical use and a calmer sense of flow.
The result is a garden that feels rooted in its setting, with planting and structure that work together through the seasons.

Designing With Trees, Levels and Views
Crowborough gardens often need a thoughtful response to elevation, mature boundaries, woodland influence and seasonal weather.
Resolving Levels and Movement
Steps, paths, terraces and planting can help make a sloping or divided garden easier to use while preserving views and atmosphere.
Planting That Settles Into the Landscape
Andrew chooses planting for texture, shelter, seasonal interest and suitability to the garden's conditions, so the finished space feels natural rather than forced.
Crowborough Gardens and Local History
Andrew did not map Crowborough to a specific gallery project, but the old page does contain local garden and landscape history.
Crowborough sits in the Weald at the edge of Ashdown Forest, within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Crowborough Country Park includes woodland, grass, heath glades, marshes, streams and ponds.
Crowborough Horticultural Society was founded in 1941 and continues as an educational forum for gardeners and allotment holders, with meetings, shows and visits to places of gardening interest.
Crowborough Common is an ancient common of more than 220 acres, much of it heathland and woodland. The Country Park also grew from a former clay quarry, left to natural regeneration before becoming a Local Nature Reserve.
