From football pitch to beautiful garden

The brief was to create a pretty, country garden near the new orangery and paved terrace.

This house has the most wonderful views across a large garden which has been rough grass and an unloved border for many years.

The new scheme has classically planted borders with mostly blue, purple, pink and white flowers, and a large terrace and lawn which then merges, over a ha-ha, into a more relaxed planting theme of shrubs and ground cover perennials in island beds surrounded by rougher grass and spring bulbs, with ornamental trees beyond a hornbeam hedge which will blend with the countryside beyond.

Pieces of stone found on site have been used in the borders as a bench and standing stone feature.  A large stone trough has been moved to the terrace.

The photos show the different areas in various stages of planting and development and I will add to the gallery when I’ve seen the garden again this year.

Back to case studies
We felt our garden had fantastic potential but we needed help! Sophie's work was the basis for the transformation that has gone beyond our expectations. The design was not only beautiful but also practical and her work has helped not only in the execution stage, but also now as we look after and enjoy the garden in all seasons.
