About us
What sets us apart from the rest
“The very best example of a garden design practice”
Award winning garden designer Nick Dickinson, has been creating beautiful gardens for four decades.
About us
Over four decades we have become experts in matching our client`s particular architectural environment with schemes conceived from a sympathetic design philosophy.
At elementa we believe outdoor environments should be relaxing, functional, welcoming and sometimes mysterious, but above all they should have the wow factor that suggests that a professional has been at work.
Our goal is to make an impact in your new garden and lifestyle. With our creativity and lifelong passion for design, the work we do is unique, transformative, bold and enduring.
About Nick Dickinson
Nick began his career at the tender age of six.
Struck by the magic of propagating plants, he quickly progressed through the stages of apprenticeship to qualify as a landscape technician at the age of 20.
He then spent the next two decades physically building every garden he designed. This is an invaluable process that all landscape designers should have experienced. The in-depth understanding of how gardens are constructed is a huge advantage when designing and specifying the finer details and makes all the difference in the world between an average and exceptional project.
Elementa was borne out of this wealth of experience and nearly two thousand gardens later, Nick continues to surprise and delight clients with his creativity, extensive knowledge and natural ability.
A Word on elementa
“Elementa has brought innovation, attention to detail, and a rigorous process of really listening and identifying our true wants/desires from our garden, to result in a modern garden design that far exceeds our expectations.”

Background
With the wealth of experience in garden design and construction over four decades there isn’t anything that surprises us anymore and challenging sites are very welcome. We’ve created a huge variety of gardens ranging for as many different functions.
Installation
Our associate contractors, whether it be the hard and soft landscape contractors, electricians, carpenters and other trades, will take the project on from the end of the design process to completion.
Design
Nick physically built his own designs for the first two decades which gives him an invaluable edge and understanding of the best materials, form, and function for your garden. The design phase is the heart and soul of our process.
Pricing
During the design process we work with you to make sure that any scheme is within a budget, so we`ll cost the project constantly throughout all stages. The selected contractors will then confirm the actual costs with you directly prior to the installation.
We specialise in garden design and construction in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.
