I'm Joe. I don't have a design degree. What I have is seven years on site with 30+ of the UK's top designers across 100+ builds including Chelsea and Hampton Court gold medal show gardens and a background in luxury event production for luxury brands such as Hermès, Cartier, Claridge's and Rolls-Royce, transforming spaces to tell stories that people couldn't forget.
I got into this the hard way. My first wife died at thirty three. Our daughter was ten. We went straight into COVID lockdown with no support network, just a garden I'd never cared about and nowhere else to go. That garden held us together. It taught me that outdoor space isn't just an afterthought.
I retrained. Spent years working with the best designers in the country and watching the same safe design get repurposed over and over. I had one question: why can't a garden tell a story the way a great installation does, but be permanent?
That's what Hide Unhide builds. Gardens designed to be moved through, not just looked at. Spaces with waypoints, rooms and a narrative thread. Something that draws you forward, changes as you move and rewards discovery. You'll never see it all from one place. That's not an accident. That's the design.

This is for people who've spent enough on this house to know exactly how much a bad decision costs. The kind of person who delegates everything that matters and wants to be certain before they start, not sorry once they've finished.
This also isn't for anyone managing contractors on weekends, briefing builders on the back of an envelope, or whose current garden centrepiece is a ceramic gnome they've named Gerald. No hard feelings. Gerald will be fine without us. Probably.

Three active projects. A 14-zone estate garden in Surrey. A 300m² garden in West London, completed. A third in planning. We design everything to be built from the start. What you approve isn't a vision. It's an instruction. The full story isn't on this page. It starts with the quiz.
Congratulations. You've spent three minutes reading about fixing your garden instead of actually fixing it.
The quiz is also three minutes. Just saying.
