James & Co Landscapes is an award-winning garden design studio based in Cornwall. We practice throughout the Southwest on projects from cosy country courtyards to windswept coastal plots. Working closely with our clients we also collaborate regularly with architects, interior designers and property developers to realise imaginative design concepts which are memorable, enduring and sustainable to their core. 

Some of our work

We design gardens that complement architecture, interiors, and the natural landscape, creating unique people-friendly spaces rooted to their surroundings. Sustainability, a strong practical ethos, and a meticulous attention to detail underpins everything we do.

Across Cornwall and Devon, we provide a complete personalised garden design service from strategic masterplans to detailed drawings for complex hard landscape and planting plans for low maintenance beds and borders. Work necessary to discharge planning permission requirements is a speciality.

We find simple, earthy design details often work best in coastal gardens. Huge oak cubes and granite boulders make for the perfect perch around this rusty fire-bowl. A ring of reclaimed slate tiles helps to further define the space. Huge thanks to @c
