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 and textural variation.
The overall look is softened by deep herbaceous borders, with whimsical, naturalistic planting.
From mid-summer, ornamental grasses weave through the planting beds and tall perennials emerge between boulders, adding depth and creating a feeling of immersion around the seating areas and natural swimming pool.
CLIENT RESPONSE
Artisan recently completed a major landscaping project at our one-acre new build site in Cheltenham. We had not tackled anything on this scale before so were quite daunted by what was involved.
Will and his team were the perfect partners to take us through the process providing innovative design input and project management throughout.
From a green field site Artisan achieved an incredible result both complementing the build style in their use of interesting materials and providing a planting plan that quickly softened the feel of the garden with a mix of mature trees, some more formal planting and areas of meadow. Very quickly the garden and new house have settled into the surrounding area and look amazing.
We were particularly impressed with the professionalism and quality of the whole Artisan team who were able to provide a broad range of skills across all trades from construction of a beautiful pool and patio area through to excellent carpentry such as the design of a ‘floating’ cedar topped Cotswold stone bench and intricate cedar fencing and gates.
The whole team are friendly, diligent and highly capable operators who will always go the extra mile in terms of quality and standards. The finishing is exemplary which is a testament to Will and his team.
I have no hesitation in recommending Artisan and believe they are an exceptional group of individuals with a real desire to achieve the best outcomes for their clients.
