Grass versus plants
We finished planting this garden in autumn 2025 and are so excited to see how the borders fill out in 2026.
Enlarging skinny borders
Our client was frustrated that the borders in her garden were too narrow for her increasing love of plants, and after we’d been working with her for a few years, replanting and maintaining her garden, she decided to completely replace her lawn with lush planting.
The New Design
We came up with a number of rough sketches with alternative layouts for the garden and our client chose a design with a lovely curving brick path running through the planting. The bricks tied in well with her existing hard landscaping and with the style of her house.
We then drew up a more detailed garden plan with precise measurements for the transformation.
We work closely with our landscapers, and are always present at the beginning of a build and at any points where key decisions need to be made.
Our landscapers
We aim to be as sustainable as possible, and the landscapers we use try to recycle any hard landscaping materials they’ve had to remove, either on the project at hand or in future builds as hardcore.
Plant Choices
We are so enthusiastic about the plants we use and selected wonderful plants for this garden from a number of independent, specialist nurseries. We always send detailed plant profile sheets to our clients so that we can discuss styles, colours and textures in order to draw up a detailed planting plan.
Planting the garden
Working alongside a team of experienced and passionate gardeners, we planted the garden with the least soil disturbance possible to maintain a healthy and productive environment in which the plants can flourish.
Testimonial
It has been so lovely working with you both as you seem to understand exactly what I want in my garden and it is also exactly what you want to do with it too! A rare meeting of minds in my experience!
It looks so beautiful. In fact magical and brings a tear to my eye. Thank you so much for all you have done. It’s going to be so exciting to see it bursting into life the coming months!
