Crafting Beautiful Gardens Across Epping and Essex for Over 40 Years
Founded in 1986, Manor Landscapes Epping Ltd is a long-established partnership specialising in bespoke landscaping and garden design across Epping, Essex, and the surrounding areas.
From concept to completion, our team delivers bespoke garden design, landscaping, and outdoor construction services, combining technical expertise with artistic vision. Every project we undertake is handled in-house by skilled landscapers, ensuring consistent quality, communication, and care from start to finish.
We’ve built our reputation on craftsmanship, reliability, and a deep understanding of how to design and build gardens that truly enhance how our clients live.
Our Story
Manor Landscapes was founded by Dave Hannis and Dave Lambell, two experienced craftsmen who began working together in 1986. What started as a small partnership quickly grew into a trusted name across Essex and Hertfordshire, known for distinctive designs, honest advice, and exceptional workmanship.
Over the years, our work has evolved with the changing needs of our clients. From traditional garden layouts to modern outdoor living spaces, we have created everything from driveways and patios to garden offices, outdoor kitchens, gyms, and bespoke water features.
We have worked at prestigious events such as Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court, experiences that have shaped our attention to detail and high standards. Despite our growth, our values remain the same: to provide personal service, genuine value, and gardens that reflect the individuality of every client.
Today, our experienced nine-person team continues to serve homeowners across Epping, Loughton, Ongar, Chigwell, Bishop’s Stortford, Woodford, and wider Essex, delivering projects that stand the test of time.
