A family garden where children could play and for sports to be practiced, plus areas for cooking and entertaining. Our clients acknowledged that they were not avid gardeners but requested year round planting with varied and interesting textures, shapes and height.

Sunken trampoline is less obtrusive - Overhead beams supporting a hanging seat for relaxation and outdoor sleeping - A gym/studio to the rear. This was installed by outside contractors - Recycled paving around the gym to a hidden utility/storage area - A large and attractive sawn grey York stone terrace area close to the house - Terrace area encompasses a built-in barbecue and a fireplace feature for entertaining - Modern finishing including a textured tile cladding and stainless steel beading on fireplace - Contrasting but complimentary render and paint finish to BBQ including a granite worktop - Varied materials were used to link different areas of the garden with a calming colour scheme throughout - Pale decorative aggregate retained in a stabilising system to make movement easier - Light coloured non-slip composite decking providing clean movem
Japanese influenced garden
The garden to be a strong feature from house windows A space in which to entertain family and for relaxation with potentially Japanese influence, perhaps with Acers and boulders. The brief: Large lawn , dining area for up to 8 people with further seating. Four seasons of planting interest with lots of colour and scent with medium maintenance. A new pond to be integrated into the design, together with a summerhouse. Good access to the rear of the garden and compost area, where the rain water storage, irrigation units and lighting were housed Solution: Large amounts of masonry,paving and 25 tonnes of soil were cleared all transported through the interior of the house which had recently been renovated. A bespoke "tea house" selected, with our assistance, by the client and mounted upon a raised base consisting of reclaimed yellow stock bricks of local provenance. A great place to view the garden and relax in all weathers and with adequate storage space. A pool and dry stream bed were created. This involved the excavation of a large amount of soil, some of which was recycled and used in forming the new lawn. Average pool depth of 900mm with 200-300mm shelf for marginal planting. Overflow pipe included to ship excess water to a shingle filled soak-away in an adjacent border. Pool sides constructed and edged with large gneiss boulders. Jacksons trellis work mounted to the face of south and rear boundary walls.

The garden was conceived as a journey from disaster to recovery and reflected the designer's experiences as a survivor of the 2005 Edgware Road station bombing. The garden was to be entered through a narrow opening in an imposing wall, leading into a dark tunnel. As one passed through the tunnel the structure was to open up, allowing light to penetrate the gloom. The path was to lead ultimately to an area of airy and uplifting planting. The garden should include a mixture of new and reclaimed materials

Contemporary town garden under £20K
A young professional couple wanted to develop a small space to the rear of their South London townhouse for entertaining and relaxing. They wanted the space to be clean, crisp and contemporary to reflect the recent refurbishment of the interior of the property. There was to be plenty of room given over for relaxing with friends. A built-in barbecue was to be included for al fresco dining. The planting was to be lively and colourful but not overwhelming. The garden should include a water feature or focal point. As the courtyard was very hot and sunny in summer there should be some means of escaping the sun whilst remaining in the outdoor space.
Domestic townhouse garden £20k - £50K
The client's inspiration came from their time living in Brazil, Miami, Phoenix and Hong Kong. The expectation for the garden was that it would not only have a wow factor, during the day, at night, and through the seasons, but would also be comfortable and practical for children. The client wanted the garden to feel like a natural continuation of the kitchen/dining room that they could walk in and out from the kitchen without shoes, on a flat, clean and smooth surface. The design should be symmetrical and sharp. There was to be an eye-catching focus feature and plenty of room for evening entertaining, even during the cooler months. Lighting was required to create a sense of drama and to bring the garden into full use in the evenings. The client also put forward to need to retain privacy.
