Millard HG

Bespoke garden designers in Bristol UK

We love Gardens, and we love sharing our passion to help make your own slice of paradise.

At Millard Studio, we specialise in garden design in Bristol that balances beauty, function, and long-term value. Whether you’re rethinking a compact city garden or planning a complete landscape transformation, our designs are shaped around how you actually live and use your space.

We work with homeowners across Bristol who want clarity, not sales pressure. From the first conversation, you’ll get straightforward guidance, realistic options, and transparent pricing — no over-promising, no surprises.

As experienced garden designers in Bristol, we offer both design-only services and full design-and-build landscaping, allowing you to move at your own pace with complete confidence.

Why Bristol Homeowners Choose Our Design and Build Studio

We are a Bristol-based design and build company — not a national chain with a local office, and not a loose network of subcontractors working under a management company. Our architectural design team, project managers and construction team are all employed by us, all based in Bristol, and all accountable to you directly.

  • One Team, One Roof

    Design and construction managed by the same people — no handoff, no gap, no miscommunication.

  • Architectural Design Included

    You receive a properly designed project — not a builder’s sketch — before a single decision is locked in.

  • Planning & Building Control Managed

    We prepare and submit all applications on your behalf. You are informed, not burdened.

  • Fixed, Itemised Quotes

    Every quote is clear and agreed before work starts. No open-ended costs, no end-of-project surprises.

  • Bristol-Based — We Know the Area

    We understand Bristol’s property types, its planning authority and its building character — from Clifton to Keynsham.

  • Aftercare & Snagging Included

    We do not consider a project finished until the snagging walkthrough is signed off and you are happy.
