Kawauchi Rowe gardens are defined by their harmonious balance of craftsmanship and carefully considered and layered planting.

Our fully immersive gardens invite people in – with movement, perspective, scent, texture and sound shaping the experience and creating moments of discovery.

In line with the Japanese idea of Ma, our gardens combine space, flow and silence – where what is left out in the design process is as important as what is left in. Space and structure, density and openness are balanced to create gardens which are composed and harmonious.

With a deep understanding of place and surrounding architecture, our gardens connect with our client’s home and the rhythms of daily life, enhancing their experiences of both interior and exterior spaces.

Gardens today must also respond to changing environmental and climatic conditions. Kawauchi Rowe designs landscapes that are ecologically robust, adaptable and enduring, growing stronger and more beautiful with time.

Your Journey to a Kawauchi Rowe Garden

We will work closely with you on every detail of your project, ensuring an efficient, well-managed experience.

Here, we guide you through each step:

With budgets and timeframes established, we will meet you in person to view the site and to discuss your project ambitions. Based on this initial discussion, we will prepare a written proposal.
Once the proposal has been agreed, we conduct a detailed site analysis and survey before developing the design brief in close collaboration with you.
We then prepare a master sketch plan supported by CGI renders, perspectives and mood boards.
Once approved, the design is developed into a package of working construction drawings and specifications for the landscape contractors.
A planting plan and planting mood boards mapping the exact location of each plant, together with a full planting list detailing names, quantities and sizes, are prepared for your approval.
We invite quotations from our trusted network of professional landscape contractors, before coordinating the procurement of materials. We then oversee every aspect of the landscape construction process, including garden lighting.
Your plants are sourced from our network of specialist nurseries and growers to ensure strong and healthy specimens.
For a complete end-to-end service, we can also style your garden, sourcing and supplying pots, planters, furniture, sculpture and other decorative elements.
