Garden designer in Bromley, for gardens that feel completely yours
Award-winning garden design for family homes in Bromley, Beckenham, Chislehurst, Keston and Eden Park
Perhaps you’ve filled your home with things you love: art, books, pieces gathered on your travels. And then there’s the garden. Uninspiring, unfinished, not quite somewhere you’d want to share.
I’m Melanie Hick, and I live and work in nearby Forest Hill. I design gardens for Bromley families that feel as considered as your interiors: places for long summer suppers, for children to discover the creatures that share their garden, and for you to sit quietly as the light fades. Gardens that are full of life, and completely yours.
A garden you’ll be proud to share
Room to gather
a garden shaped around how you love to host, from long tables to quiet corners.
Discovery for children
places to play and explore that connect them to nature and to each other.
Life on your doorstep
planting and habitat for the species that need it most, guided by surveys rather than vague promises.
Your style, outside
sculpture, art and found objects, given the same care as your interiors.
Beyond box-ticking
planting that meets urban greening requirements where planning requires them, with a beauty and meaning no rulebook can.
A garden that lasts
climate-resilient planting, reclaimed materials and old trees worth keeping, adding lasting value to your home.
Gardens I’ve designed in and around Bromley
I’m close by, so your Bromley garden is a short drive for site visits and build oversight.
Garden room planting in Keston
Planting designed to settle a new garden room into the landscape of a semi-rural Keston property.
The Sydenham family garden
A garden for a young family between Beckenham and Forest Hill, with tulips, a dining terrace, play space, wildlife habitat and wheelchair access.
The Angles Garden in Beckenham
A long, rectangular blank canvas transformed with an angular design that echoes a new garden room and rear extension. Made for a family who love to entertain, it gives adults and teenagers their own spaces to enjoy visitors, with a custom steel pergola, a fire bowl, swings for the teens and a yoga platform outside the garden room.
“She combines a close listening ear with fantastic creative flair… She’s created a space where we love to spend time as a family, and to entertain friends.”
