Bespoke Decking Installation
Decking is one of the most versatile and transformative features in any outdoor space. At Esme, we install bespoke decking solutions in composite, hardwood, and timber to create stylish, durable, and low-maintenance platforms for modern living.
We are proud to be an approved Millboard installer, working with premium products such as Millboard’s “Burnt Cedar” and “Antique Oak” ranges to deliver long-lasting finishes. Our decking projects range from raised terraces and pool surrounds to sun-trap platforms tucked at the end of a garden.

Low-maintenance finishes that retain their look for decades
As a landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas, we know how to design decking layouts that integrate seamlessly with patios, lawns, and planting.
Outdoor Kitchens and Bespoke Living Spaces
We are known for our signature concrete and render outdoor kitchens. These bespoke builds are crafted to house BBQs, pizza ovens, fridges, and log storage, finished with either Weber render or timber cladding for a sleek look.
Every outdoor kitchen is tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Some opt for compact 4m layouts, while others prefer expansive U-shaped kitchens with integrated breakfast bars.
Case Study: U-Shaped Kitchen in Ascot
We designed and built a 22m² U-shaped kitchen finished in White Mint Sandstone paving. It was precision-built to accommodate the client’s Louisiana Grills BBQ and Gozney Arc pizza oven. Western Red Cedar doors completed the look, creating a hosting hub perfect for summer entertaining.
As a landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas, we combine craftsmanship and functionality to deliver kitchens that feel permanent and purposeful.
Hot Tubs, Swim Spas, and Saunas
Outdoor living is no longer limited to patios and lawns. More homeowners are choosing to add wellness features, and we provide expert installation of hot tubs, swim spas, and saunas to create garden retreats that can be used year-round.
Through our partnership with Hydrolife, we supply and install Jacuzzi hot tubs, Hekla barrel saunas, and Chill Tub cold plunges. Every installation is designed with precision and integrated into its surroundings, whether on Millboard decking, porcelain paving, or beneath a pergola.
Case Study: Garden Wellness Area in Berkshire
We created a 38m² wellness space featuring Millboard Antique Oak decking, a Jacuzzi J375 hot tub, a 2.5m Hekla sauna, and a Chill Tub LITE plunge pool. With fresh black fencing and crisp lawn edges, the result was a luxurious retreat just steps from the client’s home.
As a landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas, we make sure wellness features feel like part of the garden design, not an afterthought.
Paving & Patios
A well-laid patio or pathway provides the backbone of any garden. At Esme, we install natural stone, porcelain tiles, brick paving, and concrete solutions designed to withstand years of use while looking timeless.
Our team has experience with everything from elegant Jura Beige porcelain tiles to rustic sandstone patios and intricate herringbone paving patterns. Whether you’re looking to upgrade a driveway, create a modern courtyard, or install a tiled entertaining space, we deliver with precision.
Case Study: Curved Pathway in Surrey
We recently transformed a garden pathway using Jura Beige porcelain tiles combined with Sinai Pearl washed and tumbled setts on the border. To soften the layout, we also installed new planting. This combination brought structure and charm to a compact garden entrance.
Clients choose us as their landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas because of our ability to combine creativity with technical excellence.
Softscaping and Planting
No garden is complete without plants. Softscaping is where texture, colour, and structure come to life. At Esme Developments, we design planting schemes tailored to your soil, light conditions, and lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking for low-maintenance evergreen borders, architectural palms and acers, or a relaxed cottage garden feel, we create layered planting plans that evolve beautifully with the seasons.
Services Include:
Lawn installation and turfing
Raised planting beds and borders
Screening plants for privacy
Bespoke planting plans for colour, texture, and movement
Case Study: Laurel Screening in Hampshire
We recently created a 5.6m x 1m raised bed planted with mature laurel trees to give instant height and privacy. Combined with new porcelain paving, the garden achieved both structure and softness.
As your local landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas, we source only premium plants from trusted nurseries in the South.
Swimming Pool Design and Build
Swimming pools are the ultimate garden feature, and we provide a full design-and-build service for both residential and commercial clients. From eco-panel pools to custom concrete-tiled pools, our projects balance luxury with longevity.
We integrate energy-efficient heating, poolside paving, safety features, and surrounding planting to ensure your swimming pool fits naturally into the wider landscape.
Case Study: Pool Transformation in Surrey
For one client, we installed a pool with composite decking, a seating corner, a block-built pizza oven station, and Weber-rendered retaining walls. The pool became not only a functional feature but also the heart of their outdoor living space.
Our reputation as a landscaping and garden design company in Surrey, Ascot, Berkshire, Hampshire, London & surrounding areas makes us the trusted choice for clients looking for high-quality pool installations.
