Client brief:

Our clients downsized from a large family home after many years. Once renovations finished, they focused on transforming their newly built garden. As experienced gardeners, they wanted space to plant and enjoy nature. However, they also needed a shaded spot for summer relaxation. A garden gazebo topped their must-have list, so we designed one for the hottest part of the garden. It provides a perfect retreat. The garden was nearly a blank canvas, except for a greenhouse. They love growing vegetables and nurturing young plants, so it stayed. They also chose to keep their shed and plum tree. Since coniferous trees already surrounded the property, they avoided planting more.

Clients want a floriferous design, so we filled their borders with colourful summer perennials, creating a stunning and vibrant gravel garden. They wanted to keep lawn space for their dog. A circular lawn suited the corner plot, and they instantly loved the idea. We framed the lawn with blue engineering bricks. This bold edging enhances definition and creates a practical mowing strip for easier maintenance.

By preventing the mower from hitting sandstone paving, the strip keeps the design clean while adding strong visual contrast. The Forest Burford Gazebo became a central feature, offering shelter from the sun and rain while creating a peaceful retreat. To soften the structure, we planted lavender and ornamental grasses. The fragrant lavender and swaying grasses add texture and movement.

Now, our clients enjoy a beautiful, functional garden with space to relax and garden. They love the transformation and appreciate every thoughtful detail.
