The Shire Barn This steeply sloping garden has been designed using retaining walls and steps to create a series of delightful spaces linked by the rill and pools. The design cleverly addresses not only the obvious long axis of the garden but also ensures that each section of the garden relates to the different parts of the house inviting views out across the garden and Read more »

Goodbye To Car Park... When our clients took over their home in the heart of their business the courtyard was a very uninviting, austere space completely surfaced with block paving so the ground and walls merged as one. The courtyard and gardens have been transformed with lots of planting to screen the walls and tree canopies that break up the roof line. Grasses bring lots Read more »

Woodstock Courtyard This old school suffered from layer upon layer of tarmac in its landscape and was overlooked by surrounding properties so lacked privacy. After we had stripped out the tarmac layers and introduced new soils across the site, we were able to create the most wonderful, secluded walled courtyard garden. There are lots of places to sit, wide open spaces for entertaining and exotic, Read more »

Acid Soil in Surrey This sandy, dated garden on the edge of Burnham Beeches was challenged by having no relationship between the pool house and the main house giving the appearance that someone was living in a bungalow at the bottom of the garden. This garden design addressed a formal relationship between these buildings giving the garden harmony and strength whilst maintaining practical access.

Swimming Pool Detail This restoration of the dated swimming pool with a ceramic tile surround could only bring immense joy to our client and team alike. Hand fettled reclaimed York stone and bespoke cover lids have given this project a quality entirely appropriate to this beautiful old mill house on the River Cherwell.

Liz's Garden Our garden, situated on top of a very exposed hill, was part of the nursery production beds in the year 2000. As soon as we started to build the house, my 2 year old daughter and I planted hedges to divide up the space and shelter our new planting from the prevailing south westerly winds. The early years were soul destroying as the garden Read more »

Potager Garden Design Following full restoration of this beautiful North Oxfordshire Village house, our clients wanted to install a potager garden for fruit and veg production to the family kitchen. This was done in a heritage style to support the architecture of the main dwelling.

Lost in Time Restoration Hidden in an idyllic valley, we have had the privilege of working on this garden for two consecutive owners – both with the agenda of celebrating nature. Sleepy ancient buildings nestled in a harmonious landscape, a restful place for family life. The garden is designed to celebrate the natural landscape and have low impact. Read more »
