Rumbold-Ayers landscape designers, specialists in garden design and residential landscape architecture. We are professional landscape and garden designers, serving domestic and commercial clients, architects, self-builders and developers throughout the South of England and further afield, from our base near Salisbury, Wiltshire. We don't have a specific "house design style".
Rather, we believe a garden should reflect your own stylistic preferences, the architecture of your home, and the characteristics of the site and it's setting in the wider landscape. Hence, we are equally comfortable with a contemporary, classical or country cottage style. Indeed, one of the primary functions of a well designed residential garden is to help a house blend into it's surroundings, and so the house is almost always the starting point for the evolution of the garden design.
Our services extend from advice and documentation in support of planning applications, through conceptual design, to planting plans and detailed design specifications, and tendering.

We will be joining the regular cohort of architects at the monthly RIBA Ask-an-Architect day, to offer you a free personal consultation in a strictly no obligation meeting.
To be sure of your FREE place we recommend you pre-book by calling the NSBRC team on 01793 847 400.
We will be present in the Expert Area on all three days for informal discussions about your building or landscaping project.
This is a great opportunity to talk with our experts about all aspects of "external works" of a self-build or renovation project - for example paving, drainage, retaining walls and the layout and design of your garden.

We have compiled a selection of Rumbold-Ayers' most recent garden design projects in Wiltshire.
The site lies within the "greensand hills" landscape of the Vale of Wardour - an area characterised by small, rounded hills interspersed with stream and river valleys, a large proportion of woodland, and mostly small, irregular fields bounded by hedges with hedgerow trees.
The garden extends to circa 3/4 acre on a roughly south-facing slope and has good views to the east (towards Wardour Castle), and to the south-west, albeit being somewhat windswept.

The client company was planning a major office space expansion and, following the success of our earlier wildlife-friendly landscape design (see below), decided to include a suitable native planting scheme as part of the project.
Rumbold-Ayers were appointed by the client's consultants Darwin Ecology to detail the proposed native tree, shrub, and perennial planting around the periphery of the site.
The design included native hedge planting to soften the visual impact of the galvanised railings around the site, and log piles to encourage invertebrates.

The site is a corner plot in a leafy cul-de-sac of large houses, with a narrow road frontage and constrained by tree preservation orders covering about half the total plot area.
The replacement dwelling is contemporary in style, but designed to reflect the general form of the neighbouring houses, and includes a below-ground double garage.
The principal features in the rear garden are the patios and swimming pool.
The pool is sited to take advantage of the best afternoon sun, away from the shadow cast by the house, but also set to one side of the principal views from the main living areas (a pool can be a dreary sight during the winter months!).
