DK GARDEN DESIGN
INSPIRED BY NATURE

David Keegan is an award-winning garden and landscape designer

based in North West England.

FEATURED PROJECTS

In this Chorlton garden transformation, we took a dull, empty outdoor space and turned it into a tropical oasis.

It features a series of interconnected platforms, which flow from a spacious dining terrace directly off the house to two elegant floating platforms nestled within a lush, jungle-style planting scheme. In the backdrop lies a bespoke water feature, designed and crafted in-house by our team.

This Monton project transformed a blank canvas into a series of distinct garden spaces, including a Mediterranean boules garden, a sunken garden set in a spacious lawn and a fully automated pergola with an integrated kitchen.

The front garden features a redesigned driveway with inset detailing, vibrant perennial planting framed by hornbeam cubes, as well as new boundary walls, gates and railings to complete the transformation.

This landscape design project in Cheshire presented unique challenges, as it sits in a secluded private valley that meets the River Goyt at its end.

 

To create a space that harmonises with the location, we installed gabion steps that lead under a canopy of trees and ferns to a lower path, offering stunning views of the rolling planting. From there, newly installed steps connect the top balcony to the garden below.

Awards & Accolades

Our projects have garnered multiple awards across the UK and internationally. We take immense pride in the accolades we've received, each reflecting our commitment to excellence and innovation, driving us to push boundaries and create beautiful, sustainable spaces that connect people with nature.

Mark Daniels, Delph

“We are absolutely thrilled with the work David did on our garden! We had a large space that had been underutilised and bland for years, and David transformed it into a stunning, functional oasis. His creativity and attention to detail were evident from the start. He listened carefully to our needs, incorporating numerous seating areas that we can now enjoy throughout the day.”

Ilse Burger, Worsley

“My new garden is exactly what I needed and this is a result of David's skills to listen to the client and then transform this into a unique design. He was very clear about the design process, he is an excellent communicator and remained very involved throughout the whole project.”

Matt Kennedy,

Manchester

We had envisioned a garden inspired by Indonesian aesthetics, and David not only brought our vision to life, but also surpassed our wildest expectations. His meticulous attention to detail and valuable recommendations for landscapers and materials guaranteed a garden of exceptional quality.
