About

Alford and Sowter is a landscape and garden design practice based in Cornwall. We offer a complete garden and landscape design service.

Our style is client lead; we are inspired by your taste. We work closely with you to create an outside space that enriches your lifestyle and wellbeing. Our goal is to provide gardens that are effortless extensions to your home, which are restorative spaces that inspire and delight.

We work on a broad range of projects from courtyards, small to medium-sized residential gardens, to larger feature properties and commercial. When our designs are complete, we work with a team of experienced and reliable subcontractors to build the garden project, and oversee the build in a project management role.
