The brief for this project was an entire redesign of the garden. Originally, the garden had one large shrub border (where the swing chair is currently situated) along one walled boundary and a small terrace by the kitchen. The proposed design included a sizeable Yorkstone dining terrace, main lawn, children's play area, side garden, lunch terrace and wildlife-pond garden. This brought different areas and structure to the garden by introducing Yew hedging and pleached Hornbeams as partitions, as well as low Box planting and a copse of Amelanchier trees in the shade border by the house. Classical english country planting of pinks, whites and blues makes up the planting palette of the main lawn, whilst mass planted Hydrangea 'Annabelle' and other shade plants create interest by the north facing house.
