Why Greenstone Design UK?

Sensory planting
Greenstone Design UK were established to accomplish extraordinary things. As active researchers, advocates and practitioners we are leaders in landscape and urban design for health and well-being. Author of the international design text Landscape and Urban Design for Health and Well-Being: Using Healing, Sensory and Therapeutic Gardens, Routledge Press, 2014, our Founder /Director Gayle Souter-Brown built a global design consultancy to address human health and well-being using sustainable design principles. Not only do we practice what we preach; as evidence based designers we explore new solutions to old problems, and find cost-effective ways around environmental and economic challenges. We collaborate with tertiary institutions and NGOs, architects and other professionals to provide innovative, cost-effective, health and well-being outcomes through environmental design.
"As the leading landscape and urban design consultants for health and well-being we ensure your amenity strip, public green space, roof garden or playground provides more than just a pretty place, more than just a functional space, and for the same price, or less."
Our small team of consultants, designers and associates contains what we believe to be a unique blend of passionate people - scientists, architects, interior designers, landscape designers, teachers, and horticulturalists. As a sustainable design practice we work remotely, from home offices. With people based in England, USA and New Zealand we work locally, but with a global reach. Accessible, inclusive design for health and well-being takes us from large-scale tropical eco resorts to small-scale urban roof gardens. All projects incorporate our sensory-rich salutogenic approach to design for health and well-being.
As sustainable designers we work at an honest price. We guide with confidence and clarity, to ensure your budget is spent wisely, to best effect. Whether private, grant-funded or government funding we ensure best value. Insurance payouts after natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes provide an opportunity to make a difference.
Our relaxed, personable manner puts you at ease, even when your start point looks like a blast zone. Our confidence of the end result gives you peace of mind.
This means that if it is not cost-effective for us to come to you, you can still utilise our design flair. You simply provide photos and site measurements and we do the rest. Where we can we prefer to be on site, but through skype, facetime and email we develop a strong relationship with our clients, wherever you are. Please contact us for further details and a no-obligation discussion of your project.
