COLOURFUL + COMPACT GARDEN
GEORGIAN WALLED GARDEN
JAPANESE-INSPIRED SANCTUARY GARDEN
Our client’s love for terrariums helped inform this brief. Increased planting areas and a focus on hard landscaping details were also priorities for them. When looking out from the living space, we wanted the clients to feel an immediate sense of calm and feel at one with their very own green sanctuary. We combined highly […]
CONTEMPORARY NATURALISTIC GARDEN
This impressive house renovation called for a garden design that complemented its clean lines and rectilinear design features. The new structural ‘bones’ of the garden were built in traditional materials, sympathetic to the house and surrounding area; cool-grey limestone, buff Cotswold chippings, timber.

Reclaimed pennant stone was used to create a large kitchen terrace and cascading double aspect steps, leading to a lower dining terrace of herringbone clay pavers, enclosed by soft herbaceous planting. Timber and gravel […]
URBAN FAMILY GARDEN
Our clients wanted us to create a garden ‘sanctuary’ which they could escape into when working from home and enjoy with family and friends. The long garden was divided by a cedar and larch pergola and limestone terrace, creating a generous dining and seating area, with the feel of an outdoor room. Behind this the […]
