About Earthly Beauty
Earthly Beauty Garden Designs is a London-based studio creating refined, atmospheric gardens.
The work is guided by a belief that the most compelling landscapes feel inevitable: shaped by their setting, grounded in nature, and designed to last.
Founded by Belinda Buckley, the studio combines design expertise with a perceptive, client-led approach, informed by an earlier career in speech and language therapy.
Projects across London and the South East range from urban courtyards to larger landscapes, unified by a focus on naturalistic planting, material integrity, and a lasting sense of place.
Where we work
Based in Waltham Forest, we design gardens across Essex, the South East and North, East and Central London, including Islington, Hampstead, Maida Vale and Waltham Forest.

Thanks to Belinda, I now have a garden that I love being in. The design process was a real eye-opener, as she suggested plants and landscaping that I had never heard of, giving me the knowledge and confidence to make a decision and choose what was just right for me. I’ve never had a garden that I am so proud of. It looks amazing and it has become a special place that I sit in and share with my friends and loved ones whenever I can! Tom P.

With 3D CAD models (Computer Assisted Design) you can easily see how your new garden will look – bringing the design to life exactly as planned.
Belinda has an exceptional eye for garden design, combining a deep plant knowledge with a natural sense of space, light, and flow. She transformed my outdoor area into something both beautiful and harmonious. Kes U.

Design Services
We offer a complete garden design service, guiding each project from initial consultation through to detailed design and planting plans. Whether you are seeking a full redesign or a planting plan to enrich an existing space, the scope can be tailored to your needs.
Every garden is approached individually – shaped by its setting, architecture, and the way you want to live outdoors.
Our work balances strong strucure with soft, naturalistic planting, creating spaces that feel cohesive, immersive, and enduring.
The stages outlined below provide a clear framework, allowing you to understand what to expect at each stage, whether engaging in the full redesign process or selecting specific elements.
Design Process
Stage 1: Initial Consultation
An informal meeting in your garden to understand your priorities, how you want to use the space, and the character you’d like to create. We will walk the site together, discuss opportunities and constraints, and explore how the garden could evolve.
You will come away with initial ideas, a clearer sense of direction, and guidance on the most appropriate next steps – whether that’s a full redesign, a planting plan, or more focused input.
Stage 2: Concept Design
Initial design proposals setting out the overall layout, structure, and character of the garden.
Stage 3: Masterplan
A resolved design, developed in response to your feedback on the concept design, bringing together all elements into a clear and cohesive scheme.
Stage 4: Technical Design
Detailed drawings and specifications that guide the construction of the garden with clarity and precision.
Stage 5: Planting Design
Carefully composed planting plans, selected for beauty, resilience, and seasonal interest. We can also support planting procurement and implementation, ensuring the garden is established with care.
Fees
Fees are shaped by the scope of each project – its size, complexity, and the level of detail required.
An initial consultation is offered without obligation, providing an opportunity to discuss your garden and explore its potential.
