# Best of British Gardens
Best of British Gardens is a specialist garden design and landscaping company based in Barnstaple, Devon. They create bespoke outdoor spaces that combine innovative design with high-quality materials and craftsmanship.
The business serves homeowners across Devon and the South West who desire distinctive, contemporary gardens that move beyond conventional landscaping. Their clientele appreciates sophisticated design, natural materials, and gardens that function as outdoor living spaces rather than mere planted areas.
What distinguishes Best of British Gardens is their portfolio of distinctive hardscape features and material choices. Their work showcases creative use of Cor-ten steel, natural stone, limestone, slate, and hardwood sleepers to create structured yet organic garden environments. Projects range from sunken gardens with graduated sleeper retainers to hornbeam walkways and natural stone grottos, demonstrating technical expertise in complex constructions and spatial planning.
Their blog content and substantial portfolio indicate a design-led approach grounded in horticultural knowledge. Rather than offering templated solutions, they craft individualized gardens that respond to each site's unique characteristics—whether addressing slopes through deck design, incorporating water features, or using gabions for contemporary native planting schemes.
The emphasis on garden "rooms" and structured landscapes suggests they understand gardens as extensions of the home, designed for both aesthetic impact and practical use. This combination of artistic vision, engineering capability, and material sophistication positions them as a premium choice for discerning clients seeking truly bespoke garden solutions.
