# Spike Jackson Garden Design
Spike Jackson Garden Design is a Cambridge-based practice specialising in bespoke garden design and landscape consultancy. With three decades of experience, the practice works with residential clients across Cambridgeshire and beyond to transform outdoor spaces into thoughtfully designed gardens that reflect individual lifestyles and property contexts.
The business distinguishes itself through a non-formulaic approach to design. Rather than applying a standardised 'house style', Spike Jackson draws from an eclectic vocabulary of design styles, ensuring each project is tailored to the client's specific requirements, budget, surrounding architecture and immediate landscape. This flexibility has resulted in a diverse portfolio demonstrating the practice's versatility across different garden scales and aesthetics.
What sets this practice apart is Spike Jackson's dual expertise. Beyond design skills honed over 30 years, he trained originally in landscape construction, providing rare insight into the practical, technical aspects of garden building. This background informs both the feasibility of designs and the quality of project supervision.
The service extends beyond initial design to comprehensive project management, including contractor selection, specification drafting and construction supervision to ensure materials, workmanship and timelines align with client expectations. The practice also offers specialist consultancy on planning permissions for major garden structures and landscape-related matters, drawing on Spike's experience as Parish Councillor and Tree Warden.
Initial site visits within 20 miles of Cambridge are offered free of charge, with transparent fee scales available for work further afield.
