Ellipse Garden
A house extension can eat into the existing garden, and space for favourite plants and features feels lost. This design echoes the simplicity of the building and organsises the space to include two seating areas, a shed, greenhouse and vegetable beds as well as a water feauture.

Victorian Garden
This house, dating from the mid Victorian period had a front garden mainly given over to tarmac for parking cars. The owners wanted something more in keeping with the house itself, and with the relocation of parking to the rear, the front garden was remodelled to give formal lawns and walkways, with a woodland walk and summer house..

Circular Deck
A lovely modern house needed a more exciting garden than the strip of lawn that the builders left. The brief was to remove the lawn and provide a 'different' space for eating outside. A circular deck at ground level has a stone wall around it and this is the focal point of a garden for entertaining.

Sun Trap
This little garden was a real sun trap, but had no real structure. Simple lines set on a diagonal across the plot have provided a framework for a relaxing, harmonious space.

Pretty Planting
This project shows how a thin strip of border has been widened and filled with a mixture of shrubs and perennials in pinks, whites and plums to give a romantic effect. Paintwork in the garden complements the scheme.

Triangular Garden
A garden divided diagonally to provide another building plot left an awkward triangle. My solution was to remove the huge rectangular terrace, and replace with soft curves arranged to make the most of the longest axis of the garden. Pinks and blues dominate the planting for a feeling of calm and space.
