Garden Design

Our clients asked us to transform their blank canvas of a garden into, well a garden. The garden sloped away from the house and looked onto the South Downs. The brief was to connect the house which sat above surrounded by a large terrace to the rest of this spacious garden.

The resulting design involved creating a second raised area, this time a lawn with steps down to the main garden, through the new gravel garden, down to a circular lawn, through an arch to the lower meadow area.

What the clients said:

“Lucy and Lee visited us several times earlier in the year at times convenient to us. Several designs were produced for our consideration, following which we were able to fine tune the plan to incorporate exactly what we wanted. Both Lucy and Lee were at pains to ensure that we would get the most from our available budget, which was not generous for such a large space. The planting scheme is a work of art in itself and has been much admired by everyone.”

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.”
