The brief

A specialist garden artist, made easy to hire

Niwaki, cloud pruning and topiary are specialist services, but the person looking for help may only know they have a hedge, tree or shrub with potential. The site had to explain the craft plainly, show Jamie Barrett as the expert, and give local visitors one simple quote path.

What we built

Five decisions that shaped the build

01
Structure
The page is ordered like a local enquiry: the work, Jamie Barrett's approach, reviews, services, service areas and a direct quote action.
02
Design direction
A restrained garden-art direction: green from the logo, real pruning imagery, classic typography and enough quiet space for the living sculpture to do the persuading.
03
Mobile experience
The quote action stays close on mobile, because local searches for hedge trimming, topiary and tree shaping often start from a phone in the garden.
04
Local search
Titles, descriptions, service names, areas served and structured business data are written around Farnham, Surrey and the specialist pruning terms the site needs to own.
05
Handover and ownership
Domain, hosting and site accounts in the client's name, with a walkthrough of how to change things.

Project evidence

The client, the work and the offer

Real client assets and live-site context, used to show why the build needed its own shape. Nothing here is AI filler or a fake mockup.

Cloud-pruned topiary forms wrapping around a garden building — The work has its own architectureThe best proof is the shaped garden itself: sculptural **topiary**, visible precision and enough scale to show why this needed a specialist website.

Pruning shears beside a hedge and brick garden wall — Craft before decorationThe supporting imagery shows tools, foliage and precision, which reinforces the premium garden service without over-explaining it.
