Jack Dicks Design is a Bristol-based garden design practice working with private clients across Bristol, Bath and the Wider South West. We design gardens that are rooted in their place - responsive to their setting, ecological data and most importantly the people who use the space.

The studio offers a full range of outdoor design services: from complete garden design and landscape design, through to bespoke planting design and garden advice and garden consultancy. Whatever the scale or scope, every project begins with careful listening and ends with a space you will want to spend time in.

Jack brings a distinctive design perspective to each project, one shaped by a genuine passion for ecology, a rigorous approach to spatial design, and the belief that a well designed landscape can change how you live.

Selected Work

A selection of recent garden design project from across Bristol, the Cotswolds and the South West. Each garden is designed from scratch - no AI, no templates, just a trained attention to your site and the people who use it every day.

Hoddinotts, Wiltshire

Work in Progress

A 6 acre ecological landscape design project in Wiltshire. We are engineering biodiverse chalk land ecosystem to balance wilderness with a growing family. Sensitive materiality not only works in the favour of planning applications in this AONB but ground the space within the wider landscape.

Montpelier Town House, Bristol

Summer, 2025

Spring, 2023

Hazel Woodland, Bristol

In the heart of Montpelier, Bristol, we engineered a dense hazel coppice to bring deep shade, mystery, and a vibrant community hub to the city. Endorsed by a BBC Secret Garden executive producer, this urban sanctuary fosters rare bird's-nest orchids and thriving bird species—proving that high-end ecological design can restore complex woodland biodiversity to inner-city spaces.

Designed in close collaboration with the onsite builders, this Montpelier townhouse garden features a level threshold with the new kitchen for seamless inside-out living. The space integrates an expansive entertainment patio and an outdoor shower within an immersive, shaded sanctuary packed with exciting planting combinations, bold winter structure, and year-round colour.

How Jack Works

  • The Process

    Every garden design project is unique, but each starts the same way: with a conversation. Get in touch for a free discovery call today.

    The process is collaborative but led with a clear design intelligence. Jack brings ideas, challenges assumptions, and pushes for something better than the obvious answer. The result is a space that feels entirely inevitable. It quickly becomes an indispensable backdrop to your life, completely woven into the fabric of your day-to-day living.

  • 01 Constultation

    A conversation about your garden, your life and what you want from your outdoor space.

  • 02 Concept Design

    A drawn concept that establishes the spatial logic, mood and direction of your garden.

  • 03 Detailed Design

    Full technical drawings, material specifications and planting plans. Everything you need to make this dream a reality.

  • 04 The Build

    Jack will work with trusted landscapers or collaborate with a contractor of your selection. Regular site visits during the build to ease any worries and keep the design on track. We will also take care of the plants and planting to ensure good horticulture is followed.

  • 05 Stewardship

    A great garden is a process, not a product. After the project is finished, we manage the ongoing evolution of your landscape. By acting as the long-term guardians of your garden, we maintain the space and guide it’s full potential.
