“Roses galore” Front garden, Coventry

This is a new build garden, overgrown, difficult to maintain, and lacking interest. The client wanted to remove the lawn and to add colour and style for viewing from all angles. We have designed an interesting layout using interlocking circles,...

Wildlife Friendly Oasis, Warwick

This garden had become overgrown over the years, with more and more of the lawn becoming lost and the borders growing deeper and deeper. We spent a while here initially pruning shrubs and delving into the borders to see what...

Coach House Cottage Courtyard, Leamington Spa

This is actually my own garden! We have not lived in this house long, and the beautiful walled courtyard longed for some planting and colour. We definitely didn’t want to keep the astro turf so that was the first to...

Beautiful Borders 5 – Planting design, Leamington Spa

This lovely, modern and tasteful rear garden was previously designed and built by another local garden design company, but the borders had become tired and the planting was not giving her the joy it should be. She asked us for...

‘Fabulous Frontage’ – Front garden planting design, Leamington Spa

This front garden was lacking colour and interest with no planting except a few weeds, a magnolia and an acer. We have designed a new border for south facing, full sunshine with drought tolerant perennials and grasses. We also added...

‘Kerb Appeal’ – fabulous front garden design, Leamington Spa

Beautiful Borders 4 – Border Design, Leamington Spa

The client had had their driveway redone – but the poor lawn and border had been neglected. Our landscaper has raised and re-turfed the lawn for us. The border is south facing and in full sunshine, so we have used...

‘Summer BBQ’ – Full garden design Coventry

Newly retired clients are ready to enjoy their garden to the full. The brief included brick built BBQ and pizza area, large new south facing patio area and a renewal of the remaining areas. Quite a large garden with some...

Beautiful borders 1- Border design, Leamington Spa

The pictures can do the talking here! This client requested a ‘modern rockery’, orange/yellow and purple for her colour scheme, we were only too happy to oblidge and we love the result. Cost ~£1200 including removal of gravel, preparation of...

Beautiful borders 2- Border design, Leamington Spa

The client came to me after previously having gardener plant some (what looked like unsuitable) plants, which unsurprisingly didnt make it through the previous summer. The garden is very exposed and south-east facing in Whitnash and the bed does not...
