Welcome to Mark Lenel Garden Design
I am a professional and experienced garden designer, offering a comprehensive, personalised design service to help homeowners across Surrey who are looking to create beautiful, practical and thoughtful gardens.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, following on from an extension, or reworking an existing space, I can help develop your garden from the first sketches to the final planting. It’s a creative & collaborative process, carefully thought through, creating designs that feel good to be in and work beautifully over time.
Portfolio
Every garden is different. But what they do have in common is a clear design vision, thoughtful detail, and spaces that feel just right for the people who use them. Here’s a selection of past projects — from contemporary courtyards to naturalistic planting schemes — showing how my designs can bring shape, beauty, and purpose to a garden.

About
I am a professionally qualified garden designer creating lovely gardens since 2018. But my passion for all things green and growing began much earlier in life, from the days helping my parents in their garden (including painting patterns on the lawn with non-selective weedkiller), through to managing the school greenhouse, through to a degree in Natural Sciences. But a diploma (with distinction) from the British Academy of Garden Design crystallised my move into applying all my interests on a professional basis.
