Garden Designer Christchurch

Christchurch sits where the Avon and Stour meet the sea — a landscape of riverside meadows, sheltered harbour and open coastline that shapes every garden Pete Jenkins designs and builds in and around the town. From Highcliffe's clifftop gardens exposed to Channel winds, to Mudeford's waterside plots and the more sheltered town gardens behind the quay, Sea Glass Zero brings 22 years of Pete's personal hands-on design and construction experience to every Christchurch enquiry.

Garden Design and Build in Christchurch

Sea Glass Zero works across Christchurch, Highcliffe, Mudeford and the surrounding area, covering the full range from initial design concept through to completed project. Services include garden design and planning, landscaping and ground works, paving and terraces, planting schemes suited to coastal exposures and Channel-facing conditions, garden structures, drainage and water management for the area's high water tables and riverside terrains, and wildlife-friendly garden design. Pete Jenkins brings 22 years of personal hands-on experience to every enquiry — familiarity with Christchurch's varied soil types, the salt patterns of the Solent coast and the particular demands of riverside and low-lying sites is built into every project.

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.
