Design Portfolio

I design bespoke gardens with a calm, contemporary approach, creating outdoor spaces that respond to the client, the place and the architecture of the house. My work is centred on thoughtful designs, carefully chosen materials and planting schemes that will mature over time. From initial garden design concepts and CAD development through to detailed construction drawings, I take a considered approach to each project, ensuring every garden feels personal and built to a high quality. Below is a selection of garden design projects of various sizes.

Front Garden Planting Design

Clean, contemporary design for a front garden

Modern Planting Design with strong evergreen structure

Modern Country Planting Design

A large Mediterranean inspired patio with large planting beds, off set to each other that created zones for dining and seating area. In order for this to come to life it needed planting. The clients wanted textured planting which would look good year round and this is supplemented with seasonal variety to add delight.
When designing these borders I wanted to create a consistency across the different sections whilst giving each one a slightly different character, befitting its location in the garden. All of the planting softens the hard landscaping and enhances the overall impact.

Cottage Garden, sunny seating spot, lavender, grasses

Small Cottage Front Garden, Near Basingstoke, Hampshire

The client has recently moved to this house and the garden is currently set to lawn and a drive way. They wished for the garden to feel more of its landscape but also needed to the drive way to be extended. I have created a small seating area that makes the most of its sun trap position and will be surrounded by cottage style planting with small multi stem trees helping the garden feel more mature.

Masterplan for Garden Design in Wargrave, Berkshire

Wargrave Garden Design

A design that incorporates features such as an outdoor pool, outdoor kitchen and spacious dining zone into a welcoming and relaxing country garden. The design took into account the large protected Beech tree and worked to make the most of the setting sun.
