This is a typical long thin town garden. The clients were keen to transform this ordinary patch of lawn into a garden for their young family. We incorporated a curved brick paver path leading to the oak shade-giving pergola which also concealed the garden office at the end of the garden.
We included areas of naturalistic, wildlife-friendly planting in raised beds along the fence line and two areas of terrace for alfresco cooking and relaxation in the shade.
Our clients engaged us to help them with their new build plot. The garden was in a sad state with most of the top soil removed and the rest washing slowly towards the house and a huge bamboo fast taking over. They asked us to transform the existing north/east facing compact plot into a relaxing place to sit, with lawns, a water feature and to improve privacy.
The garden before work starts
This odd shaped plot lent it’s self to some curves. We used a small pallet of materials to provide texture in a subtle range of pale stone colours. The shiny water feature lights up a dark corner, and soft fluffy planting will eventually soften the fenced edges.
What the client said:
“Lucy’s design lived up to my expectations perfectly. The actual paper design was a work of art in itself. Everything I specified was included and I was happy to use the company for the build process. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
