  • This low maintenance garden is used by the whole family; there’s room to play, entertain & relax. Privacy, softness & fragrance will be added as flowering climbers take to the trellis & back wall. Three clipped Hornbeam trees screen off neighbouring loft extensions without losing light.<br /><br />View Larger
  • Ox eye daisies & Vipers bugloss stand out in this planting, shown eighteen months after seeding. Dozens of additional species flower at different times, providing a long season of interest & important habitat for invertebrates. Meadows are a low maintenance alternative for areas that don’t need to be cut regularly. Mown paths loop through this one allowing disabled access for care home residents/ visitors. View Larger
  • Perspective sketches are one of many tools we use to communicate ideas to clients. Designs can be difficult to visualise, especially when major site alterations/ level changes are involved. Being able to see your garden prior to construction ensures that there are no surprises during the build.<br /><br />View Larger
  • Mass planted grasses compliment this lap pool. Tall & elegant <em>Calamagrostis acutiflora</em> is accentuated by low growing <em>Hakonechloa macra</em>, dotted with orange <em>Crocosmia</em> 'Emily McKenzie'. Deep red <em>Imperata cylindrica</em> sets off the stainless steel sculpture.<br /><br />View Larger
  • Flowering perennials, ferns & grasses soften the industrial look of dry-stacked brick held in rusted steel mesh. Since no mortar was used, small ferns grow in the gaps. Water trickles from the hammered copper trough into a small pond nestled among <em>Matteuccia struthiopteris</em> ferns.<br /><br />View Larger
  • This Oxford townhouse is bigger, brighter and much more useable thanks to a glass extension & re-working of levels. The lower terrace was created by cutting into an existing grass slope & installing retaining walls that tie house & garden together.<br />Beyond the trees a spacious, sunny lawn is revealed.<br /><br />View Larger
  • To create this spectacular display we planted nearly 3000 bulbs in three colours: crimson, dark mauve & light mauve. The tulips give way to a succession of flowering perennials that provide interest from spring through late autumn.<br /><br />View Larger
  • The floor of this garden is nearly three metres below ground level, as it allows light into basement bedrooms. It features a light-reflecting water wall & planters brimming with <em>Polystichum setiferum</em>. These evergreen beauties thrive in shade that few other plants survive.<br /><br />View Larger
  • Cedar decking is beautiful, long-lasting & sustainably produced. A floating bench leads the eye to a circular lawn flanked by raised beds made of dry-stacked stone. In time, wonderfully scented <em>Clematis armandii</em> will disguise the back fence & the beds will be filled with foliage and flowers.<br /><br />View Larger
