Thoughtful Garden Design for Modern Living

Elle Arnett is an award-winning garden designer based in the Cotswolds, creating refined contemporary and naturalistic gardens for private clients in Cheltenham, across the Cotswolds and beyond.

Combining architectural structure, naturalistic planting and a strong sense of place, each garden is carefully shaped around the character of its setting and the way it will be lived in.

Creating enduring outdoor spaces tailored to your lifestyle

The most successful gardens feel as though they have always belonged to their surroundings, while enhancing the way we live today.

Elle works with discerning clients to create thoughtful and elegant landscapes that bring together home and garden as one cohesive space. Drawing on classic design principles, beautiful materials and richly textured planting, each element is considered to create a garden that feels natural, timeless and deeply connected to its setting.

The result is an outdoor space that is both beautiful and purposeful, designed not simply to look good, but to be enjoyed, lived in and appreciated for years to come.
