The horticulturist working directly in conjunction with our native wildlife and changing climate is the simple concept of barrow and bee.
Founded by Dominic Chadwick in 2022, we offer design, landscaping and maintenance services across London, with sustainability at the forefront of our practice.
Discover our Gardens
We regularly maintain over 30 gardens across London.
Our maintenance is hands-on, covering big jobs such tree maintenance and lawn care, to the little things like seed collection and propagation.
Unique Design for Urban Spaces
All of our Gardens are born by unifying ours and the clients vision, whilst keeping sustainability at the forefront. We want our designs to last in your garden, evolving through the seasons as the gardens mature, with interest all year round.
Our environmentally informed design approach is to plant and build with biodiversity in mind – utilising recycled materials, a mix of native and non-native plants, as well as organic building materials where possible. All of our designs are implemented both in-house and with trusted collaborators.
“What is quite special about Dominic is his lovely attitude of super reliability and commitment to understanding his clients’ views on how they want their garden to be. One could either leave a whole project to him, or even micro manage things together with him. He is excellent at either approach. Added to it is his lovely personality and sense of humour, which makes it a pleasure having him around in the garden.“

“We are delighted that barrow and bee, a horticultural gardening company owned and operated by Dominic Chadwick, is in the area. We were looking for a gardener to regularly manage our garden when we met Dominic on the street packing away his tools. As Founder/Director, Dominic is an engaging, friendly person who actively listens to our concerns. He has provided us with sound professional service for the past eight months. He is knowledgeable and accommodating and we are very pleased with the quality of his work. The ethos on which he is building his company is to be applauded and we would highly recommend Dominic to look after your garden.”

We are proud to work with a close-knit team of trained horticulturists, designers and landscapers. Get to know a little bit more about us below.
Design Team
The design team, lead by Dominic Chadwick, is a small and passionate group committed to delivering excellence for our clients – on time and within budget. All of our designers have extensive horticultural knowledge, ensuring apt placement and year round interest for a garden we all esteem to.
We recognise that redesigning your garden, or designing a completely new landscape is a huge and personal undertaking for our Clients. Our approach is to work with the Client at every stage, with thorough planning and preparation, and clear communication.
Following 1-1 tutoring from renowned designer and member of SGD John Wood, we create striking hand drawn and 3D rendered designs for our Clients, offering clear visualisations for every stage of the design process.
Horticulturists
Our gardens are cared for by a hand-picked group of horticulturists, all qualified with extensive on the job experience, including or to the equivalent of the RHS Level 2 diploma. We pride ourselves on the effectiveness, reliability and talent of our team.
We work in your gardens with the environment in mind – we don’t operate with petrol powered tools or vehicles. Our gardeners are trained to drive electric cargo bikes to visit our gardens across London, and we all work with our own battery powered tools, or hand tools.
