 |
| 1. An overgrown wall, an unusable slope, transformed into a beautiful, terraced, decking/hot-tub area. | 2. “We hate all the concrete” No problem, lets use soft natural stone and clad it all! | 3. Boring tarmac, inadequate parking space. Now beautiful, Brindle coloured paving with room for family and visitors. |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. "There's too much grass, too much maintenance. Give me something different". How about interlocking circles with a rock bubbler | 5. Battle of the Somme……… transformed into sunken garden, pond and waterfalls, and beautiful new lawns. |
6. "We have low maintenance, but it's too square and hard. What can you do?” Let's soften it with curves and circles. |
 |
 |
 |
| 7. “The builders did the landscaping, but it doesn’t quite work. Can you help us?” No problem, lets re-do the steps and walls then plant the whole area. |
8. Steps too square and ballustrading wrong level. Let's do the whole thing again. |
9. Lovely swimming pool but no where clean to sit……… now have a real stone patio and pergola for shade. |
 |
 |
 |
| 10. "Our boundary, is on a slant, what can we do?" Use a pergola, bamboo screening and clever perspective to widen the top of the garden. | 11. The same garden, “We can’t even see the house from the bottom of the garden”. Problem solved and now you can sit in comfort and view the transformation. |
12. “We’re having a conservatory built. What can you do with the garden around it?" Try soft stone terracing and steps with a new enlarged patio area. |
 |
 |
 |
| 13. Boring steep slope converted into a terraced garden with a slate bubbler for sound and movement. | 14. A very large, awkwardly sloping lawn, turned into terraced gardens, using natural wood, rock and water. |
15. Far to much lawn, far to much mowing…… now a beautiful low maintenance terrace. |
 |
 |
 |
| 16. A beautiful conservatory but no view. So we created a natural look waterfeature, with a drystone wall to retain the new sun patio level. | 17. Client asked us to fill in the swimming pool. We said yes but only halfway. We then created this unique sunken garden with integrated rock and water feature. |
18. 'The postage stamp', but we managed to "create" a circular lawn, curved patio, circular sun patio, rockery pool and water feature, all in low maintenance style. |
 |
 |
 |
| 19. Dull and uninteresting rear patio area transformed into a strong circular and curved wall design with the soothing sound of water from the bubbler. | 20. "I would like a bowling green but I have a cold clay site". So we took 180 tons of clay out by hand (no machine access) and replaced with grit, sandy soil and a full drainage system - "perfect." | 21. Muddy field transformed into box edged beds and herringbone brick path ways, with central raised waterfeature. |
