We design ornamental gardens that are thoughtful, low maintenance and perfectly matched to your space.
Whether you are starting fresh or improving what you already have, our garden design services take into account every element. From soil quality to garden orientation and Cornwall’s ever changing weather, we build gardens that thrive in the long term.

We use a mix of flowering perennials, grasses, shrubs and structural plants to create layered displays that evolve with the seasons. Each planting plan is tailored to your garden’s conditions and style.

Well-planned borders are the backbone of any ornamental garden. We design them for structure, movement and visual impact, blending texture, colour and shape for a lasting effect.

From spring bulbs to late-summer perennials and autumn foliage, we plan for year-round colour. Your garden will change with the seasons while staying balanced and cohesive.

We include statement plants or small trees to act as natural focal points, adding depth and helping to guide the flow of the garden space.

Ornamental gardens rely on contrast and balance. We combine soft planting with evergreen shapes, clipped hedging or defined lines for a space that feels structured yet full of life.

To reduce maintenance and encourage healthy soil, we use low-growing plants to fill gaps, retain moisture, and create a finished, natural look.
Every ornamental garden we design begins with a clear understanding of your space and your style. From the first consultation to final planting, we create tailored designs that bring beauty and structure to your garden.
We start by visiting your garden and talking through your ideas. We assess the soil, light, views and layout to understand what will work best for your space.
Next, we create a layout that brings your vision to life. We include suggestions for structural elements, colour schemes and a tailored planting plan that fits with how you want to use your garden.
Once the design is approved, we move to installation. We shape the space, place the features and begin planting. We offer guidance on how to look after your new garden or can take care of it for you with our garden maintenance plans.
Posted on Google Harrison Knott Had a fantastic service from the team at Wilde Spaces. Very knowledgeable about everything I asked him, had a solution to any problems I was having prior and all for a really reasonable price. Well worth getting in touch with if you need any landscaping advice or quotes. Thanks guysPosted on Google Mike Simpkins We recently had the pleasure of working with Wilde Space, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Ben, Amy and Ash were an absolute delight from start to finish—friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us tackle the challenges in our garden. They removed a tree and several unwanted bushes, ground down the stumps, and prepared our garden beds so they’re ready for planting in the new year. Every step was handled with care, skill and real attention to detail. It was clear they take great pride in their work and truly care about the spaces they transform. I would recommend Wilde Space without the slightest hesitation to anyone who values their garden and wants expert, thoughtful work carried out. A fantastic team and a brilliant experience.Posted on Google Clive Ingram Very pleased with the work done by Ben and the team . A new front garden which is now our pride and joy . Would highly recommend Wild Spaces , which we have already done on a couple of occasions . Many thanks .

It is a real pleasure to be involved with people who are so committed, passionate and knowledgable about their work.Posted on Google Anne McCrossan It's a joy to have found Ben, Amy and the team at Wilde Spaces to help me develop the garden. They've created a gorgeous rockery in the front of the house and are lovely professional, reliable, thoughtful, hard-working people who really know their stuff. The best there is in the West Cornwall area. Highly recommended.Posted on Google JENNIFER Thomas -Davey Ben and Amy have been incredibly helpful in redesigning our garden so that it answers all that we wanted from it - from restructuring the beds and helping to select shrubs and plants to put into them, to designing the planting schedule in my vegetable beds, pollarding trees, pruning techniques and importantly - how best to help nature thrive in my garden. The garden is thriving, flowers abound and I’m really looking forward to a season of delicious vegetables to share! They are a fund of knowledge and enthusiasm - I urge you to use them! You’ll never look back!????Posted on Google Ingrid Honan Ben and Amy have been working on our intimidating garden for quite some time now and I couldn’t be happier. Planting an orchard, preparing a wildflower meadow, re-designing and planting borders and weeding, weeding , weeding, they literally are serous “ jacks of all trades”, and….amongst some of the nicest people I know. I highly recommend this very hardworking and honest couple for any garden project.Posted on Google Chris Lisle Extremely friendly and conscientious couple who have transformed our garden beyond recognition.

Thank you both.Posted on Google Suzie Dean Where once was an unused messy part of our garden, we now have a beautiful tranquil pond.

In gardening, ornamental refers to plants and landscape features chosen for their appearance rather than their functionality. These ornamental gardens are designed to enhance the beauty of a space by combining the fundamentals of colour, texture and shape, using a variety of plants and decorative elements.
The first step in creating your ornamental space, is to gain a full understanding of what you are working with. Plan a layout that works with the sunlight you get, the soil you have, and shape of your garden. Choose a mix of flowers, shrubs, and trees that pop with colour and thrive throughout the year. You can also Include features such as paths or seating areas to enhance your structure. As a whole, a well planned garden should be both beautiful and manageable, making it easy for you to maintain going forward.
