Where Ruth works
Godalming based, across Surrey & Sussex.
Down to Earth Gardens is based near Godalming and designs gardens right across Surrey and into West Sussex. Ruth's testimonials read like a map of the district — named clients from villages all over the area, many of whom have her back for the next stage of their garden. Being local means she knows the soils, the aspects and the styles of gardens here.
Godalming
Home patch — from tired town gardens to larger village plots, redesigned and replanted around how families actually use them.
Guildford
Established gardens and new-builds across the town and its villages, where a design that resolves levels and sight-lines earns its keep.
Cranleigh
Village gardens and generous rural-edge plots — the kind of space where curvy borders and structured planting really come into their own.
Shalford
Riverside and village gardens near Guildford, redesigned for colour, structure and year-round interest.
Bramley
Family gardens where a full design turns a blank or tired plot into a place that gets used from spring to autumn.
Elstead
Country and village gardens west of Godalming, planted to suit their sandy Surrey soils and open aspects.
Woking
Suburban and new-build gardens where clients want the ‘wow factor’ from a plot that started as patio and grass.
West Sussex
Ruth's work reaches over the county line into Sussex, for design, planting and the co-ordination of the build.
