About us
Urban Escapes is a Brighton and Hove based garden design and build company covering Sussex, Surrey and London.
Our team of dedicated landscapers have many years of experience in all aspects of garden construction including decking, paving, driveways, patios, paths, ponds, pergolas, play areas, fencing, turfing, planting and lighting.
We pride ourselves on working closely with all our clients, both residential and commercial, to provide gardens that are ideally suited their needs, being functional, accessible and most importantly, aesthetically pleasing.
The company is headed by Grant Capsopoulos who has worked within the garden industry for the past 14 years, initially working with an Italian company, PAM design, building gardens for luxury hotels on the Red Sea coast. The time spent here gave Grant the basic understanding of garden design and the attention to detail needed in construction. After returning to England, Grant stayed within the industry but transferred to the fine turf side, caring for bowling greens and cricket pitches, including Surrey Cricket Ground. In 1999 he moved to Brighton and soon afterwards started Urban Escapes. The company has gone from strength to strength, acquiring a reputation for its friendly approach, professionalism, and individual service to each client. Grant trained as a garden designer at Brighton and Hove City College.
