About

Haddon Studio are an award-winning Yorkshire-based garden design studio, creating gardens across Yorkshire, the north of England, and further afield.

We create exquisitely planted, detailed, and finished contemporary-styled and naturalistically planted gardens (responding to the site, expanding natural habitats, and artfully juxtaposing geometry against natural disorder), that are uniquely beautiful and enduring spaces where people and nature come together.

Although we specialise in the design of contemporary gardens, we are always mindful of the context in which the garden is made, and we are determined to deliver for our client's needs and to ensure a sustainable, sensitively overlaid, and biodiverse landscape is left in our wake.

We work with both residential clients and architects to deliver outstanding and inspiring gardens. We have experience designing and managing the build of schemes from high-end courtyard gardens to large country estates.

Matthew is a Registered Member of the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers (MSGLD), an Accredited Designer with the British Association of Landscape Industries (MBALI), a Registered Designer with the Association of Professional Landscapers (MAPL), and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture (MCIHort).
