About Us

Based in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, and now from their new office in Hampshire, covering the home counties, Paul Hensey design (previously known as Elysium Design) has established a reputation for innovative and contemporary garden and landscape designs, both large and small. We are an intimate company and the response we generate for our clients reflects the relationship we develop with them.

Run by Paul and Jane Hensey, and established in 2003, Paul Hensey has undertaken many challenging projects, from the very large to the very small. We do not apply a formula to our work, instead the design emerges from trying to capture a client’s dreams and illustrate them. The same rigour is applied to the design whatever the scale. Paul has a very successful background in product design and uses the techniques of product design to develop designs efficiently & with close attention to detail. The in-house design and engineering skills allow for very innovative ideas to be developed that are unique, practical and cost effective. Paul continues to design for both international and small private companies.

Our planting schemes are frequently commended and never fail to please.

We have a breadth of projects and scale of endeavours of which we are very proud. Some are private, intimate courtyards, some large commercial schemes of many acres.
