This project involved extending the driveway to give the clients more space for vehicles. Constructing low retaining walls to deal with the level changes was necessary. Reclaimed sleepers were used for the walls to tie in with the nearby barn. The planting scheme softens the hard landscping, and links the new work with the rest of the garden. |

Gardens in prestigous developement |
|
In this large project we designed and built six different gardens for the houses within the developement. Each garden had a unique design. Materials and details were chosen to compliment the style of the houses, such as the tile creasings used for the step risers. The same sandstone was used in each garden to keep continuity throughout the site, however individual planting schemes were designed for each home. |

Formal Courtyard & Country Garden |
|
The majority of the work in this garden, was in an enclosed area between the house and the office. This was transformed into a courtyard garden with a formal design. The main structural planting will be completed later in the year. Other areas of the project included extending the driveway and transforming the front of the property. We also installed a beautiful bridge over the pond to the large lawn, with york stone steps leading down to the bridge at both ends. |

Formal design in country garden |
|
This bare area of garden, where a swimming pool used to be situated, was replaced with a chequered garden using squares of lawn, granite and underplanted Acer 'Globsum'. |
|
In this garden the majority of the work was done around the house to soften the overall look of the property and to also make mainteance easier. The main part of the garden was kept very simple in order to make the most of the fantastic views over nearby fields and woodland. Along the driveway we used pleached Hornbeams, underplanted with lavender to provide interest and structure to the entrance and also to screen off a nearby house. |
