about us
English Gardens Sweden AB was started by the english garden engineer and designer, James Cotton, with the goal to build gardens focusing on the material choices and craftsmanship.
The Customer experience is of huge importance to us. Through communication, passion and knowledge of the industry we hope to achieve an enjoyable experience from when that first phone call or email is received.
Whether we’re building a bin storage, wooden deck or full driveway, the care and attention for each aspect of the project is the same.
Looking for more efficient and sustainable ways to work, we are constantly trying to improve ourselves.
