We believe your garden is a real extension of your home and the design of your outside space should be given as much thought and consideration as the design and flow of the space within. It should add value to and complement your home, reflect your personality and meet your and your family’s needs, desires and, of course, your budget.

Project: Coastal Garden for a Plantaholic!
Design Brief: To create a garden on a newly built-up plot for a client who really loves her plants. This blank canvas of a garden was stunningly situated and the brief was to maximise the far-reaching views to the sea and the surrounding country park and to create a garden in harmony with these borrowed landscapes. Cozy little seating areas will nestle within the planting as it matures, providing a degree of privacy whilst enjoying those amazing vistas of sunrise and sunset. After...

Project: Family Garden, East Sussex
Design Brief: To transform an uninspiring patch of concrete and earth into an informal and cosy family garden in a village setting. It was important to cater for several young children and to encourage them into the garden to play and to nurture an interest in wildlife and growing food to eat. The owner was inspired by the naturalistic planting of William Robinson at Gravetye Manor, and wanted a strong emphasis on foliage, with spring interest launching into summer with a bang. The planting also had to withstand the bumps and knocks of boisterous play! A calm space to relax and entertain was also a key requirement. Contractor: Frogheath Landscapes Before ....
