Our experience, built over a period of more than 30 years, lies in the fields of landscape and garden design, landscape planning, architecture, horticulture and management. Although the heart of our business is in the creative design of landscapes, gardens and their buildings, and their realisation, the company also carries out other related tasks such as urban planning, estate planning, costing reviews where required, as well as Public Inquiries.</p><p>At Balston Agius we design with passion. We create exciting, innovative and beautiful environments throughout the UK and internationally. We listen to Clients and collaborators and, working creatively, build on their intentions. We develop an in-depth understanding of each site. Our skill is to turn a well thought through concept into a finely constructed and planted reality.</p><p>Our guiding principle is to achieve synergy between architecture, horticulture and management through original and inspirational designs. At the same time, we are thoroughly realistic about limitations presented by the site â the location, history, planning or budget. We firmly believe that a close relationship and constructive dialogue with our Clients at all times throughout a job is of paramount importance in achieving outstanding results.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="section--content"><div class="grid grid-cols-12 gap-x-16 gap-y-16 sm:gap-x-32 lg:gap-x-48"><div class="col-span-12 sm:col-span-4 sm:col-start-3"><div><div class=" "><div class="sticky-image" style="position:relative;padding-bottom:139.9999999972%;width:100%"><img alt="Herbaceous border of blue delphiniums and crimson peonies, with the house and lawn beyond" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" class="scroll-transition-fade below-viewport" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;object-fit:cover;color:transparent;background-color:#eceae6;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='

Our skill is to turn a well thought through concept into a finely constructed and planted reality that celebrates a sense of place and satisfies the aspirations of the Client.</p><p>Our guiding principle is to achieve synergy between architecture, horticulture and management through original and inspirational designs. At the same time, we are wholly realistic about limitations presented by the site, its location, history, planning and the budget. Design is based on a detailed understanding and analysis of the physical and emotional characteristics of every site where we work and an open and clear communication with Client, Design Team, Specialists, Contractors and Managers.</p><p>We seek sustainable solutions to problems and always promote the ecological diversity and richness of our sites. While well-practised in the use of local and traditional materials and native planting, we enjoy the challenges of more modern materials and planting methods. Furthermore, with many yearsâ experience in planning and conservation we are always prepared to question assumptions and work with Consultants and Authorities to achieve the best solutions for available.</p><p>We firmly believe that a close relationship and constructive dialogue with our Clients is of paramount importance to achieve world class results.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="section--content"><div class="grid grid-cols-12 gap-x-16 gap-y-16 sm:gap-x-32 lg:gap-x-48"><div class="col-span-12 sm:col-span-4 sm:col-start-3"><div><div class=""><div class="sticky-image" style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.249999999296875%;width:100%"><img alt="Late-summer border of persicaria, grasses and perennials against a brick wall" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" class="scroll-transition-fade below-viewport" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;object-fit:cover;color:transparent;background-color:#eceae6;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='
