Landscaping Project 1

Initially the kitchen garden was laid solely to grass and a meagre patio walkway.  The clients vision was to create a large entertaining area which incorporated focal points, a dining area, a sunbathing area, water feature and create further interest through generous planting to create a traditional English kitchen country garden.   With a very high hedge to the rear of the garden, they wanted to build a raised area so they could sit and enjoy the view across the valley.  All the flower beds were under-lit and automatic watering installed.  All the planting was designed, supplied and installed by award winning Roger Platts and his team. 

This was a large back garden in Esher, Surrey with a disused tennis court surrounded by lots of Leylandii trees in the garden.  The trees were removed, steps and retaining walls and a central walk way through the garden were built to a raised paved area.  New fencing was installed around the garden along with new turf to the whole area.

This was a renovation of an existing pool with new pump room and changing facilities all built out of Wealden sandstone and heritage lime mortar.  A large retaining wall was built with curved parapet wall on top.  Pockets were left in the parapet wall for integral planting with trailing plants.  

This was a refurbishment of a thatched 400 year old bothy in a residential garden.  Originally, the bothy was unusable, however now a wonderful entertaining space has been created. The floor inside floor was levelled, paved with Indian Sandstone, with the addition of brick inlay to create interest.  All completed to the client’s specification.

This was landscaping for a period home with a beautiful established garden, requiring a complete refurbishment and extension to the outside entertaining space.  The project was to be completed in time for a family wedding.  All completed to the client’s specification and on time.
