Garden Designer Milford on Sea

Milford on Sea is where Sea Glass Zero is based — it's the ground Pete Jenkins has known longest, and the village's gardens reflect a specific combination of challenges and opportunities: the shingle spit and seafront plots sit within metres of the Solent, salt-blasted and wind-exposed, while the older residential streets behind tuck into sheltered New Forest woodland edge. After 22 years of designing and building gardens across Hampshire and Dorset, this is the patch Pete knows best.

Garden Design and Build in Milford on Sea

Sea Glass Zero works across Milford on Sea and the surrounding village cluster — Lymore, Keyhaven, Everton, Barton on Sea and the Christchurch Bay coast. Services cover the full range: garden design and planning, landscaping and ground works, paving and terraces, planting schemes that work with the Solent's salt-laden air and the unusual conditions of New Forest edge gardens, garden structures, drainage and water management, and wildlife-friendly garden design. Pete Jenkins brings 22 years of hands-on experience — and local knowledge of the soils, the exposures and the very specific demands of this coastline — 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.
