studio
philosophy
Our design interests lie in the relationship between inside and out, between art and design, between nature and the built environment. We believe that the thread that ties these elements together is excellence in design.
When designing gardens our guiding principle is to create uplifting spaces which are both practically and aesthetically balanced. We aim to create beautiful, bespoke, unified spaces which respect the site context, the environment and fulfil the brief set by our clients.
We take enormous pride in the quality and detail of our designs and in every project we strive to:
-
Nurture the clients design style;
-
Create timeless spaces with strong, yet simple geometries (to support softer planting);
-
Create an interesting progression of well-proportioned spaces with unfussy detailing;
-
Utilise appropriate and sustainable materials;
-
Balance innovation with ‘tried and tested’ construction techniques;
-
Minimise the environmental cost through investing in environmentally efficient sustainable design solutions.

BA(Hons) Arch MArch Dip PSGD
Sheffield born architect Joe Salmon, studied Architecture at The University of Sheffield, Horticulture at Capel Manor College, London, and Garden Design at Pickard School of Garden Design, London.
Joe has worked with many highly-regarded architecture practices gaining considerable experience designing domestic residential and commercials projects, collaborated with a diverse range of clients, developers, consultants and contractors delivering high end residential and commercial schemes, some as project architect.
Joe's long standing love of gardens and landscapes led him to retrain in horticulture and garden design, founding Joe Salmon Gardens in 2014, to bring together his design talents and passion for hands on design and build projects, working outside and creating beautiful spaces.
Joe is thoroughly involved in every project that is undertaken by the studio. His experience and passion for design compels a great attention to detail at every stage of the process. He makes certain that each project completely reflects the client's brief and ensures the highest quality of finishes.
Many clients maintain a relationship with the studio long after a project is completed, and Joe is always happy to continue being involved to provide help and advice as the garden grows and develops over time.

testimonials
We believe the true measure of success, is if you are happy with the process and the end result.
Joe Salmon Gardens strive to understand and embrace your requirements in full, weaving together your needs and your desires into the final design.
Here is a selection of what some of our clients have said about us.
"When we moved into our terraced house, the garden was a large slab of rough concrete. Thanks to the artistic vision of Joe from Joe Salmon Gardens, we now have the perfect garden. Because Joe understood exactly what we wanted, we have a beautiful space that functions ideally both as an oasis of calm, and a great place to sit late into the night after a BBQ with friends. At every stage, Joe has managed the project brilliantly, from the earliest architectural designs, through to decisions about lighting and planting, taking all the stress off our hands. Even after completion of the project, Joe has remained committed, and is always on hand for help with maintenance and other issues that arise. We can’t recommend Joe Salmon Gardens highly enough."

"Joe designed and put up fencing in our back garden and the entire process was pretty painless. His background as an architect was clearly an advantage. He turned up on time, worked very hard and we felt very safe leaving him in charge of our house while he did this. We are delighted with the result and it was good value for money. We would highly recommend him. He is someone with a lot of creative ideas and a pleasure to work with. We would be happy to use his services again in the future."
