Studio Garden

The family’s needs and use of the garden are changing from climbing frame and play equipment, to wanting more seating spaces to enjoy the outdoors. A large Oak tree is a focal point of the garden, creating areas of light and shade, giving scope for a fresh planting scheme with plants suitable for both sunspots and the shadier conditions.

Gardener's Garden

The client wanted to reclaim the garden, which was largely planted with mature evergreens. The request was to fill the garden with light, colour and seasonal changes, which in turn attracts a wider range of wildlife into the garden.

Gardens within a Garden

The grounds of this Weybridge property offer great scope for planting in different aspects and creating distinct areas of interest. Much of the planting need to be replaced because the mature hedging in the front and back gardens had outgrown their places. The brief was to make the most of these newly opened-up spaces.

Shaded Garden

This garden needed a fresh look at the areas for outdoor dining and relaxing. Large bifold windows look out from the kitchen/living area so it is important that the garden looks interesting throughout the year. The clients want to make a feature of a treasured, existing blossom tree.

Pool Garden

The mature garden with a swimming pool was mostly laid to lawn. An overgrown Rhododendron hedge occupied a large area at the end of the garden. A new layout was needed to create a path to the pool and space for relaxing after a swim. Generous borders proportionate to the size of the garden were needed to balance with the large lawn, which is used for sport by the family’s teenage children.
