About Us
A Considered Approach to Landscape Design & Build
Rafters Landscapes is a design-led landscaping company specialising in high-quality outdoor spaces for residential properties. Our work focuses on thoughtful design, quality materials, and precise construction — creating gardens that are both functional and enduring.
We believe that a successful landscape is not just about how it looks on completion, but how it performs and matures over time. Every project we undertake is carefully planned and delivered with long-term quality in mind.

Our Story
Built From Craft, Experience, and Care
Rafters Landscapes began long before it became a business.
​
From the age of sixteen, I was building wooden planters, fence panels, and gates in my great-grandfather’s garage. What started as a practical hobby quickly became a passion for creating quality, handcrafted items and taking pride in the finished result.
​
Over time, that passion evolved into a professional landscaping business focused on design, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Today, that same mindset shapes every project we undertake.
​
"Every garden we create is approached with the same care and attention as if it were my own home. I treat each project personally, ensuring the design, materials, and build meet the highest standards — because quality and longevity are what matter most."
— David, Founder, Rafters Landscapes
Our Philosophy
Built From Craft, Experience, and Care
We approach landscaping as a craft. Every decision — from layout and materials to construction methods — is made with purpose.
Rather than offering standard solutions, we work closely with our clients to understand how they want to use their outdoor space, ensuring the final design complements both their lifestyle and property. This attention to detail allows us to deliver gardens that feel cohesive, balanced, and timeless.
Quality, clarity, and communication are central to everything we do.
Design-Led, Fully Managed Projects
Our projects are fully managed from initial consultation through to completion. This structured approach allows us to maintain control over quality, timelines, and site organisation — providing our clients with a smooth and predictable experience.
By limiting the number of projects we take on at any one time, we ensure every garden receives the attention it deserves. This enables us to maintain high standards across all aspects of design, construction, and finishing.
Experience & Expertise
Rafters Landscapes brings together practical expertise, specialist equipment, and an in-depth understanding of construction techniques and materials. Our hands-on experience allows us to approach complex builds with confidence and deliver results that are both visually refined and structurally sound.
We invest in the right tools, processes, and people to ensure each project is executed efficiently, safely, and to a consistently high standard.
Who We Work With
We work with homeowners who value quality workmanship, thoughtful design, and a professional approach. Our clients are typically planning comprehensive garden transformations rather than small-scale landscaping works.
Most of our projects begin at £15,000+, reflecting the level of detail, planning, and craftsmanship involved. This allows us to deliver complete outdoor spaces rather than fragmented solutions.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
-
Delivering well-designed, high-quality outdoor spaces
-
Maintaining clear and honest communication throughout every project
-
Managing each build with care, precision, and professionalism
-
Using materials selected for durability and long-term performance
Our aim is not simply to complete a project, but to create an outdoor space our clients can enjoy for many years to come.
