Sussex Gardening Services
Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade.
Rudyard Kipling, ‘The Glory of the Garden’ (1911)
What We Do
Complete garden design, from simple borders to complex multi-acre sites, from hedgerows to tropical gardens…
Maintenance of gardens including mowing, hedge cutting, weeding, pruning and strimming. We are able to remove waste.
We take a space from an initial concept to realisation, over many months or years, providing guidance and suggestions.
A new service that will be launching in the future, we will be blending composts to suit your gardens exact requirements.
We are now able to offer professional pressure washing for your driveway, paths, walls, and other hard surfaces.
In the coming year, we will begin selling rare and unusual plants. Please look out here for updates.
Jungle Vision Landscapes
In addition to a garden design and build, where we manage a project from start to finish, Wild Beast Gardening offers a design-only service, for those that want to organise the physical work and supplies themselves. This part of the business comes under Jungle Vision Landscapes.

Wild Beast Gardening Uses Sustainable Products
Peter Newnham
We’re proud to say that we’ve removed harsh, environmentally damaging chemicals from our range of treatments. All products are now organic, and meet high standards for sustainability.
In our climate we must adapt to the ever changing world. We may have to change materials, resources, plants and methods of gardening here in the UK.
But there is a lot to be grateful for and to look forward to. In the UK we are lucky to be able to grow a lot of different varieties hardy enough to withstand our unstable and uncertain winters. Now it’s time to bring in the new age of plants, the ones that will adapt to our journey as humans grow to respect the environment.
Plant of the Moment
Here we feature plants that have caught our attention recently.
This is sorbus aucuparia ‘autumn spire’, a fabulous tree which has an upright growth habit.
A deciduous tree with simple or pinnate leaves and clusters of small white flowers in spring, then followed by yellow berries which contrasts amazingly with the autumn firework show in autumn.
Our Catchment Area
Wild Beast Gardening is based in the Steyning area of Sussex, working across Brighton, Hassocks, Henfield and Partridge Green (and further afield for larger jobs).

Have You Thought About..?
‘Have you thought about..?’ is where we make some topical suggestions for you to consider for your own garden.
This time, have you thought about coppicing a Eucalyptus tree for all year round interest? This makes it appear as a shrub in a border adds a very different airy type of look with its foliage.
Not only is it evergreen but will give you 1 to 2 meters of growth each year. Cut it right down in spring to let the spring interest shine through.
Also, the foliage can be used for flower arranging all year round.
