The fan paving created the outdoor paving solution addding interest to the garden and and pleasure when you walt to your front door.

The evergreen hedging was added to create delineation and added interst to the garden. Grisellini litorralis and Photinia were the hedging plants.
The hedging was watered with Automated irrigation which is easy to use and install.

Landscaping patio and garden after house extension in Oxfordshire

Mature country garden in Oxfordshire needed a garden design after the house extension changed dimensions.
With new patio doors needed a patio and steps into the garden.

Opportunity to create desired garden with vegetable patch, patio area for family and new planting plan
Existing plants were included where possible you can see the large rosemary was kept by the seating area.
If I don’t have to remove large plants I wont as to purchase mature plants is not cheap and it’s great for the environment to keep exisitng plants if they are healthy.

Garden design in Woodstock

Small Courtyard Garden in Woodstock that had a few shrubs and paving transformed into mini garden sanctuary.

Garden included garden ornaments from a previous garden, the mushrooms and the winter and summer interest with specifc shrubs.

Existing shrubs were kept or replanted where appropriate.

Raised bed at the bottom of the garden was created to sit outside with a cup of tea and enjoy the sunhine.

The mini sentry shed was for garden tools and repotting supplies

Garden design with garden room and pond

This garden was designed to be dog friendly no more lawn being scuffed up with ball catching.
It was created for the family to enjoy with a pond to attract wildlife to sit on and watch or dangle your hand in.

Raised vegetable beds to keep the dog away from growing produce.

Stepping stones were to enable barefoot walking as gravel is not the most comfortable to walk on.

The garden pod is for enjoying with family or working and hiding from the rain

This garden was a complete make over for someone that really enjoyed their garden but sometimes found mobility difficult.

The front driveway was created to enable easier parking for 2 cars and planting produced to enjoy from the house.

The back garden was created with different seating areas, a lawn for the dog to enjoy and easy access for limited mobility.

Small Town Garden in Bicester
Deisgned for shade and easy access with paths around garden
Evergreen plants create all year round interest
Existing Laurel and hedge kept

This garden had retaining walls and a beautiful aspect but it needed some design to turn a space into a garden

I softened the garden and added interest by adding borders infront of the retaining wall. The view over the hills is so beautiful we didn’t want to ruin the view.
The client wanted to enjoy some fresh vegetables so we created a vegetable area and greenhouse.
Where there were seperate seating areas dotted around the garden we created paths to given the garden a flow.
