Project overview
From brief to finished garden
The brief
A family inherited a large, overgrown garden with tired lawns and no clear paths, and wanted somewhere to relax and entertain.
Our approach
We kept the mature oaks, cleared the overgrowth and laid out winding gravel and brick paths through new beds of roses, salvias and indigenous perennials. A pergola walk now leads to a shaded seating area.
The result
The garden was completed in ten weeks and is now maintained by our crew every week, with seasonal colour planted twice a year.
What we delivered
- Winding gravel and brick paths
- Rose and perennial borders
- Timber pergola walk
- Shaded seating area
- Restored lawn
- Weekly maintenance programme
Plants and materials
