Balston & Company is a landscape and garden design practice based in Wiltshire which currently operates throughout Great Britain and Europe, as well as occasionally in North and South America, the Middle East and Asia.

We are involved in a wide variety of high-quality projects including private gardens and landscape management, urban planning, estate planning, general landscape design and exhibition design.

Although the heart of the business is the creative design of landscapes, gardens and their buildings, the company also carries out other related tasks such as Planning Exercises, Management and Costing Reviews where required, as well as Public Inquiries.

First established in 1983, Balston & Company currently employs five full-time professional staff together with support staff as required, experienced in the fields of architecture, landscape design, landscape planning, horticulture and garden management.

We are small company, thus guaranteeing a personal service, but selective in our workload ensuring the closest attention to each individual job. With extensive offices in Wiltshire and a small office in London, the complement tends to expand and contract with the current workload.

By the mid-1980’s the company was well-established with a wide range of work mostly in the UK and a few jobs abroad.  They ranged from Show exhibits at the smallest and most intensive end of the scale, to large scale country parks and gardens. There was also a steady flow of urban work from roof gardens to the occasional public work such as projects in London, Bristol and Paris. Also a number of commercial projects were undertaken in Paris.  More recently the company was involved with a substantial urban park, and a design for housing is ongoing.

Throughout the life of Balston & Company, the focus has always remained on design, although projects have become more diverse. Frequently we have formed part of a design consortium, involving planners, architects, ecologists, energy consultants, and sculptors. Our philosophy subscribes to flexibility and the use of concentrated expertise when required.

In October 2010 Balston & Company incorporated and now trades as Balston & Company Ltd - registered in England and Wales 07308439.
