White rendered raised beds planted with Buxus sempervirens and Festuca glauca 'Intense Blue'.

Our client wanted a raised bed constructed to hide a new wall, a trellis for screening and a sitting area.

Before and after of the raised bed.

As well as larger projects we are very happy to replant or restore raised beds and borders of any size. We planted this bed with dwarf conifers for structure and white, purple and yellow violas for winter colour.

Leading the eye down the garden with curvilinear beds planted with an emphasis on grasses and perennials.

Raised beds for easy maintenance. Cream render contrasting with black fencing. Shade loving, architectural planting e.g. Fatsia japonica, Standard Bay and various Hydrangeas.

Colourful planting ideas for this riverside terrace.

Geranium 'Ballerina', Helianthemum 'Wisley White' and alpine planting soften this hollow wall. 

Circular patio and curved box hedge take attention away from the boundaries of this small garden. 

Rosa 'Bobby James' and Rosa 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' provide early summer colour in the mature pear tree.

We installed an 'Abbey Ruin' in this woodland garden , subtly lit at night. Petunias, geraniums and half-hardy fuchsias provide abundant summer colour.

We built this rockery to make good use of this challenging steep slope.

Espalier trained fruit trees make an attractive productive feature in this courtyard garden. Phyllostachys aurea provides vital screening in corner. 

This timber raised bed with a gravel path is a low maintenance and attractive way to grow vegetables and fruit. We planted an espalier Morello Cherry, trained on the wall, with Clematis for colour, strawberries trail over the edge of the beds, and the lower bed is planted with a mix of herbs.

Regularly spaced Stipa gigantea provides structure for the perennial planting in this border, Echium pininana and Eremurus robustus give height and focus.

We kept to a limited palette of blues, blue-greens, muted greys and purples for this cottage style planting at the front of the house. Included are Perovskia ‘Lacey Blue’, Purple Sage, Nepeta ‘Blue Moon’, and Penstemon ‘Purple Bedder’.

This timber effect paving path leads alongside a stream to the pool area. Wetland planting by the stream included native plants such as Ragged Robin and Snake’s Head Fritillary.

This trellis ‘moon gate’ frames a mown-edge wild flower and fruit tree planting.

A raised bed that extended an existing wall echoing its curved profile, a water feature and colourful planting created a stylish front garden and more privacy. Plants included Geranium ‘Rozanne’, Perovskia ‘Lacey Blue’, Alliums, Osteospermum barbarae, and Trachleospermum jasminoides trained on the wall.

Clipped box, raised beds, built in seating and slatted Red Cedar trellis transformed the rear garden.

We renovated this garden to provide plenty of lawn space for a young family. The lawn was also needed as space to dry sails. Liquidambar ‘Gumball’, a dwarf form of this attractive tree, ideal for smaller gardens, provides a focal point.

The bottom of the garden was developed as a sunken gravel garden.

The existing planting in this large garden in Brockenhurst had become overgrown and was contributing little colour and interest. After extensive clearance and renovation, we added new shade loving, low maintenance planting for year round interest.

We created a quiet sitting area for evening drinks and relaxation in the shade. Fragrant climbers such as Trachelospermum jasminoides are trained on the trellis and a light coloured sandstone paving reflects the light so the area is not too dark.

We built a curved, raised herb bed on the semi circular main terrace , handy for the kitchen. A serpentine shingle path winds through perennial planting.

The lawn required a lot of work on the drainage in this low lying area of Brockenhurst. The new planting was soon thriving however in this previously very waterlogged area.

New planting was designed to make the most of the renovatedd house frontage. We widened and rerouted the driveway for easy access and parking.

Rockery rebuilt with stone found on site.

Random stone path built with materials found on site.

Garden before our renovation

A circular bed and lawn with a curved path and box hedge  created a much more interesting layout for this town garden than the usual narrow beds along the boundaries.

The startling white bark of the three Betula utilis provide an pleasing contrast with form and colour of the standard Olive and slate water feature.

Taking inspiration from the nearby beach we included Crambe maritima and Armeria maritima. The Agave americana were planted for contrast and the planting has survived the very difficult conditions well.

Although the house provided some shelter the rear garden was still subject to strong salt winds. Prostrate Rosemary, Rosa rugosa 'Alba' and Tamarisk were some of the key choices in this more formal layout.

Cistus x purpureus 'Alan Fradd', Perovskia 'Blue Spire' and the bonsai like Pinus mugo.

Chamaerops humilis and Arundo donax contribute interesting architectural forms to this contemporary garden.

The similar colours of the slate paving and the basalt gravel provide cohesion. Creeping thyme was planted in the basalt and will soften the effect over time.

Rocks poke out from waves of Santolina and sprays of Euphorbia characias.
