Traditional features on a grand scale

A passion for golf, a young family and a three acre garden inspired this client to challenge us to create a unique country garden on a grand scale.

We created a winding stream through majestic specimen trees and drifts of marginal perennials. A traditional pack-horse bridge connects large sweeping grassy banks to woodland beyond.

Dry stone effect Yorkstone retaining walls divided terraced lawns from large mixed borders of flowering shrubs and grasses for all year colour and interest.

Duration

Walling and water

Walling and water

The challenge here was to bring an informal cottage garden feel to a sloping site, while providing plenty of space for outdoor cooking for this family that was serious about entertaining.

We created a series of dry-stone effect walls in Cotswold stone with a wide set of curved steps in the centre to create access between two ponds to a large lawn at the top of the garden.

An oak framed pergola over a patio created a practical area for cooking and entertaining, which included a pizza oven, smoker, barbeque and plenty of oak work surfaces for food preparation.

Duration
8 weeks

A taste of Provence

A taste of Provence

Fond memories of holidays in the South of France and a love of outdoor entertaining provided the inspiration to re-model this established family garden.

We introduced curved, rendered walls with subtle lighting and brick detail alongside handmade clay pavoirs set into a Sandstone terrace.

Tropical and Mediterranean borders surrounded the kidney-shaped swimming pool while traditional flowering Cherry and Hydrangeas graced the front garden amidst giant boulders.
