Matt Keightley

Spear’s Review 

Matt Keightley founded landscape design practice Rosebank Landscaping with business partner Cameron Wilson in 2016. Since then, the London-based company has prospered and won multiple awards, including six RHS garden show medals, a Grand Gold at the Shenzhen World Flower Show, and the 2023 Pro Landscaper Business Award for best design and build company. 

Rosebank specialises in luxury residential work and also caters to commercial and public clients in the UK and abroad. Keightley told Spear’s: ‘We work on really special projects up and down the country and across the globe. Around 60 per cent of that is ultra-high-end residential work, and the remainder is made up of high-profile public schemes.’
