"Sustainable Gardens Shaped by People, Place and Purpose"


Studio Stour is a design-led garden and landscape studio rooted in the natural rhythms of the River Stour, but designing across the UK and Ireland.
Every project begins with people.
Landscapes that settle quietly over time.
Not trend-led:
Simply right for where they are.




Designed with Passion.
From intimate courtyards to expansive landscapes, our designs always put people first — ensuring accessibility, flow, and a sense of place.
“David made the whole process feel personal and stress-free. His friendly, creative approach turned our ideas into a garden that feels both natural and beautifully designed.”
— Sarah & Tom, Suffolk
– Sarah T.,New plant Enthusiast
"We have absolutely loved working with David on our garden landscaping and can't recommend him more highly. With his invaluable help, extensive knowledge and inspiring design skills; we have created a wonderful space that we are incredibly proud and pleased with.
It's been such a fun process seeing the space evolve over this past year - from a complete building site mud patch to a garden in bloom that works for our busy family."
– Tom & Lucy., A busy family now with a place to relax
"A fantastic designer to work with when trying to create a new garden. David has the experience and ability to create the most amazing designs from whatever brief you send him. He is also excellent at understanding the cost implications of the design and can modify to budget."
– Yann LE BOUEDEC., Adventure Seeker
