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. Sections of clay pavers in warm, earthy tones, were incorporated for colour
RUSTIC WILDLIFE GARDEN
Our clients craved an outdoor space that would capture the essence of the countryside and provide a sense of rural escape. Materials were carefully chosen to complement the house and to create a relaxed rustic feel; clay pavers in warm earthy tones meet the softer gravel surfacing, and rusted mild steel, used for raised vegetable
WOODLAND DECK AND STEPPED GARDEN
Ambitious clients and challenging sites always lead to striking designs. Our key challenge here was how to connect this elevated modern building extension to the garden below and woodland beyond?

RURAL GARDEN WITH LONG VIEWS
With views out over the Severn Estuary this design needed to blend the developed garden landscape with wilder, far-reaching views beyond. 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
TRANQUIL FRONT GARDEN
The brief for this private front garden was to create a calm, restful space which could be enjoyed quietly, individually by our clients, rather than it functioning purely as access to their property. The design avoids any delineation of the main route through the space; cool grey granite planked paving breaks the direct line of
TERRACED TOWN GARDEN
A desire to entertain friends and space for children to play drove the brief for this project, where significant changes in ground levels also had to be managed. Balanced and considered, this compact family garden incorporates sophisticated landscaping which complements the elegant Georgian townhouse while also adding a contemporary, clean-lined aesthetic. The lawn is edged
