Garden Designer Brockenhurst

Brockenhurst sits at the heart of the New Forest National Park — a village surrounded by open Forest, ancient woodland and the kind of ecology that shapes what gardens can and cannot do. Planting near the Forest brings deer, ponies and a different relationship with native species; soils vary from free-draining sandy heathland to the richer ground along the Lymington River valley. Pete Jenkins has spent 22 years designing and building gardens across this landscape, and the particular constraints and opportunities of National Park plots are built into how he approaches every project here.

Garden Design and Build in Brockenhurst

Sea Glass Zero works across Brockenhurst and the surrounding New Forest villages — Sway, Burley, Lyndhurst, Beaulieu and the wider National Park area. Services cover the full range: garden design and planning, landscaping and ground works, paving and terraces, planting schemes suited to the Forest's acid soils and the realities of deer browsing and pony grazing on open Forest boundaries, garden structures, drainage and water management, and wildlife-friendly garden design. The New Forest National Park's ecology and planning context shape every project — Pete Jenkins brings 22 years of local knowledge to every enquiry.

The ZERO Approach to Garden Making

Every Sea Glass Zero project is built around four principles. Together they make up the ZERO framework — a practical commitment to building gardens that give back as much as they take.

Z — Zero Emissions

Minimising footprint at source, from the materials chosen to the machinery run and how we travel to site.

E — Ecology

Native and wildlife-friendly planting, habitat creation, and considered water management so a garden gives more than it takes. Biodiversity is not an afterthought.

R — Responsibility

1% of each project's value goes directly to GreenFingers Charity to help create therapeutic gardens for children and families in hospices.

O — Offsetting

Reducing emissions first, then supporting carefully selected carbon-offsetting projects to balance the remaining footprint as close to carbon neutral as possible.
