Stark Strand Garden Design is an award-winning studio based in Norfolk, founded by Laura Strand and Sam Stark-Kemp. We design gardens that are thoughtful, considered, and rooted in a strong sense of place.
Our design services
Full Service Garden Design
Every project begins with an on-site consultation, where we take the time to walk the garden with you, understand your needs and aspirations, and discuss how you’d like to use the space. Following the visit, we prepare a written brief alongside a tailored fee estimate, giving you a clear sense of the scope and potential costs before design work begins.
Border Design
Planting brings the garden to life, adding seasonal interest, structure, texture, and atmosphere. For clients who do not require a full garden design, we offer planting design as a standalone service — ideal for refreshing existing borders or reimagining part of a garden.
