This client contacted us when they became fed up with their Lockdown office view. A large trampoline was no longer required and the space created gave an opportunity to create a new border beneath the walled border in the picture. Spring bulbs, Perennials and Shrubs were chosen to tolerate the shade created by a large Lime tree. in a neighbouring garden. Check back in Spring to see the progress of both this border and the rest of the garden planted in Autumn 2020

The owners of this former farm house on the edge of the Champagne region wanted to have a colourful garden to entertain in and enjoy their evening Apero, but were struggling to achieve this in the hot and sunny climate. Especially as this is their second home. We took inspiration from Beth Chatto's gravel garden and created vibrant borders that are both tolerant of the climate and low maintenance.  

The clients had recently had a large tree removed and Privet hedge reduced in size creating a new planting space. A much smaller Crab Apple tree has been planted along with a mixtu re ofperennials, bulbs and grasses for year round interest

The client is a keen gardener, but was fed up with what was an uninspiring space. The garden was designed on a 45 degree angle with steps up to a seating area. A light coloured stone, (Mint Sandstone) was chosen to lighten the North East facing aspect.

The client is an Artist and had creared an unusual arrangement of Clay pavers between areas of border. They were very keen for planting to be wildlife friendly and inspiring to look at from their recently extended kitchen. This is the finished garden in November 2019

A selcetion of recent planting projects

The client was very fed up with looking out on a sloping and mostly paved garden. We created a design providing both a large level playing space for the clents family, together with areas to sit and enjoy the newly landscaped garden. Urban Grey Porcelain refelcts the contemporary feeling with two newly constructed levels. Planting is exotic, but hardy reflecting both the existing Yucca tree and South African heritage of the owner. Built by Diversity Landscapes.

Planted to compliment the recently finished extension and newly landscaped garden featuring Limestone paving. A palette of shrubs, perennials and grasses have year round interest with a focal points of Cercis candensis and an Acer palmatum in tow central beds

Before and after. The clients were installing a new kitchen with French doors. to the garden. They wanted to update the garden and to provide an attractive view from the new doorway. We designed a large Sandstone Terrace providing space for a dining table and BBQ for relaxing and entertaining. Steps up to a newly laid lawn with wider borders are ready for planting, together with an upper area to place a new garden shed, with an additional seating area to enjoy the evening sunshine.
