This garden already had a beautiful raised terrace patio and pergola, but the planting and turf had suffered this summer. We redefined the central rose bed and perimeter borders with a brick edge, laid a stepping stone path from terrace to the back of the pergola (which tied in with an existing unavoidable manhole cover) and set the bench back into the bed with a frame for climbers above it. Spent and out-grown plants were removed and we replanted with suitable shrubs, grasses, perennials and bulbs for year around colour and interest.

Couple of home projects from some spare OSB sheet. A small tropical garden with central water feature and screen behind shelters (hopefully!) tender plants such as Fatsia polycarpa, Canna and Farfugium japonicum. The screen doubles on the back as a living wall for Sempervivums. Elsewhere a red kite model made from treated timber sheet sits atop a tree stump.

Green Eye was hired to design and plant this garden. Drought tolerant planting includes: grasses such as Molinia, Stipa gigantea, Stipa 'Ichu' and Phormiums, perennials such as Verbena, Salvia, Geranium and Erigeron. Pleached Photinia run along both side boundaries and a shady corner homes a multi-stemmed silver birch, Cornus and ferns.

The summer drought caused havoc in the garden. Many plants died back early and flowering was brief. Now is the ideal moment for a tidy‑up and to plan ahead for next season. In this garden we cut back all the dead growth, installed a leaky‑hose irrigation system on a timer, and applied a professional mulch blend of topsoil, bark, and soil conditioner to refresh and protect the beds.

Back in 2019 we created this garden where in one corner we positioned the clients' existing bench under a multi-stemmed silver birch. Earlier this year the clients decided they would like to add a small wildlife pond. They have enjoyed it so much we recently went back to add another and visually link the two.

Before and after for an area behind our client house. We cleared area and built 2 long raised sleeper beds for fruit and vegetable planting and added 3 moon arches for climbing veg, roses and dramatic effect!

We transformed a neglected walled garden with existing paving, dividing wall and summer house (scroll to end for before pic), into a beautiful space for entertaining and relaxing. After levelling and returfing the lawn and bringing in a gravel path, we added an aluminium pergola with slatted roof to the patio next to summer house, raised beds, large pots with specimen shrubs and a large sandstone water feature. The existing planting was rejigged and new suitable plants were added to bring year around colour and interest. We couldn't have done it without the help of Torty - the 90 year old lady resident tortoise.
