Garden design portfolio

A project close to our hearts, designed with biodiversity and sustainability at its core for a nature orientated family. This once bare 1300 m² garden space transformed into a sanctuary for people and wildlife alike. Naturalistic, resilient planting and layered habitats provide spaces for gatherings and quiet contemplation, while features such as orchards, perennial meadows and rain gardens enhance ecological richness and seasonal interest and a pool, sauna, fire circle and garden room to host family fun times. Garden to be built in stages from 2026 on. 

This Hampshire garden design seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. Nestled among heathlands and woodland, the concept creates inviting spaces for social connection and wellbeing. From sunlit patios to shaded garden rooms, the design blends clean architectural lines with lush and fragrant planting to form a retreat that is both serene and sociable . Project in build for an early spring 2026 completion.

A beautiful Berkshire family home, newly rebuilt, complete with a new driveway and a spacious patio in need of a new garden. Both the front and back gardens required rebuilding from the ground up, providing an opportunity to connect high end contemporary lines with neighbouring countryside. In the front garden, we incorporated three stunning mature olive trees donated by a family member and planted a drought-tolerant (once established) Mediterranean-inspired scheme to take full advantage of the sunny exposure. This included plants such as dwarf pines, chamomile, rosemary, lavender, roses, Achillea, echinacea, Erigeron, and ornamental grasses.

This garden was conceived as a tranquil haven, offering a peaceful, immersive retreat for a couple who want to enjoy their outdoor space in their retirement. Beyond the existing patio, the space was redesigned throughout using a plant led approach. Rooted in zen principles and softened by romantic planting, it weaves structure and serenity with scent and seasonal beauty. Nestled within lush planting, a wooden bench invites quiet reflection. Nearby, the soft murmur of water flowing over smooth pebbles introduces a calming rhythm, enriching the garden’s meditative atmosphere. Anchoring the surrounding borders, graceful Japanese cherry blossom trees create a living backdrop. In spring bloom, they mark a moment of renewal.

Transformed into a harmonious sanctuary, this large garden in Wokingham town centre balances tranquility with the ability to host enjoyable family and friend gatherings as well as spaces to kick the ball, a vegetable growing area, all seamlessly brought together by a soft, naturalistic planting style. A new patio partitioned into different zones to make the most of the sunlight through the day provides a comfortable gathering space for family and friends, enhanced by soft planting that brings nature closer to the house. The borders were planted with vibrant spring and summer flowering plants, including sun-loving lavender, roses, and alliums in the front part, while the back incorporated more shade-tolerant plants, fostering a serene and inviting atmosphere. 

This new concept design was developed to complement the beautiful character and stature of this contemporary family home in Berkshire, providing the owners with a vision for maximising their currently underutilised outdoor space. A welcoming, lightly partitioned patio space was designed to include a cozy seating nook nestled among lush plants for a morning coffee, a larger space for social gatherings, and a relaxing area with an integrated jacuzzi. Traditional materials such as limestone, brick, and natural timber were chosen to match the house interior and add warmth and interest, while varied elevations break up the space effectively. Ornamental trees frame the different areas, providing both visual anchors and seasonal interest. 

Designed to complement the frontage of a beautiful Edwardian home in Wokingham, this romantic and easy to maintain planting provides a classic evergreen structure to frame the house all year around while bringing joy and classic charm with an exuberant display of roses and alliums in the spring. A little later in the summer a composition of jasmine, lavender and repeat flowering roses brings a delicious scent to warm summer evenings, followed by Daphnes, filling the air with their gorgeous scent in the colder months. 

Designed for a couple looking to bring interest and biodiversity into a once bare front garden in Wokingham, Forged Wild is a long border shaped by time, resilience, and the quiet beauty of nature reclaiming its place in a post-industrial landscape where raw materials meet bold planting. Framed by Corten steel edging, it thrives in the contrast between structure and wildness with rich, rusted patina speaking of weathered history and transformation, echoing the marks of time and the steady return of nature. A raised border, both structured and free flowing, holds a dynamic planting scheme, anchored by multi-stem trees and offering textural contrasts, warm hues, cooler blues, and self-sufficient species that soften the hard edges.
