About us

Launched in 2023, Hydeborn offers discerning designs sensitive to their owners and the life they want to lead. Our aim is to make your outside space your favourite place.

The practice was founded by Robert Pryor. He graduated with distinction from renowned KLC School of Design (accredited by Society of Garden Designers with Educator Status). His Hampton Court Palace show garden concept was award top design by the RHS panel judge. He has recently returned as a visiting tutor.

Prior to working as a garden designer, he completed a degree in engineering before spending time working in multinational communication agencies developing an appreciation for client servicing and turning abstract ideas into tangible creative solutions within a project budget and timeline.
