Exceptional Outdoor Spaces.
Built From the Ground Up.

Complete landscapes and outdoor environments, shaped around the property and built with everything beneath the surface considered.

The complete environment

We create considered outdoor spaces where landscape, architecture and construction work as one.

From full garden transformations to driveways, bespoke garden buildings, outdoor living and pools, FTGU brings the many parts of an ambitious external project into a coherent whole.

Our grounding in structural works, drainage, retaining and external construction means the technical decisions are resolved alongside the visible design—not handed off as an afterthought.
