About Handle and Bark

Handle & Bark is a landscaping and gardening service run by Edward Eglinton, a skilled landscaper with over fifteen years hands-on experience in landscaping and gardening. Edward began his training under the guidance of a landscape architect in Suffolk, where he developed a strong foundation in garden design and construction. He later honed his craft in London, working with one of the capital’s leading landscaping firms on prestigious projects across West and Central London — including building gardens featured at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Now living in Suffolk with his family, Edward founded Handle & Bark, bringing with him the knowledge and precision gained from working alongside some of the best in the industry. His approach is grounded in attention to detail — understanding that it’s the small touches that bring a garden together, lift it to another level, and make it truly personal to each client.

Handle & Bark offers a full range of landscaping services across the Suffolk region, from complete garden design and hard landscaping to seasonal clean-ups and ongoing garden maintenance. Whether you're looking to transform your outdoor space or simply keep it at its best all year-round, Handle & Bark is here to help bring out the best in your garden.
