Rooted in Place,

Shaped by Hand,

Built to Last.

Verdena is a landscape design and build studio working across private gardens, courtyards, and estate grounds. We spend a long time learning what a site already wants before we decide what to give it.

How the Studio

Took Shape

Four moments that changed how we work. Everything since has been a variation on them.

2000

The first

Garden

A 40-square-metre back garden in Ridgeway. Hand-dug, over-planted, and still going strong.

Our own

Nursery beds

We started growing perennials ourselves so plants arrive already used to the local soil.

Stone and

Timber shop

Bringing hard landscaping in-house meant we could cut, dry-lay and adjust on site.

Our Philosophy: Timeless Landscapes, Naturally Connected to Their Surroundings

We believe the best landscapes don't compete with their surroundings they belong to them. Our approach combines natural materials, considered planting, and timeless design to create spaces that evolve beautifully over time.

Four Seasons,

Start to Handover

From the first concept to final handover, we thoughtfully shape every detail to create a landscape that lasts.

Walk the

site

We spend a morning on your ground, checking light, wind and where water actually sits after rain.

Walk the

site

Levels, paths, stone and water go in before a single plant. The structure is what lasts.

Draw the

plan

Hand-drawn layouts first, then a planting schedule you can read without a horticulture degree.

Tend it

Three years of seasonal visits, so the garden grows into the plan instead of away from it.
