Designed for a family with young children, this generous garden needed to accommodate the many demands of family life while creating a beautiful and cohesive landscape for everyone to enjoy.
Previously dominated by a large expanse of lawn, the garden has been reimagined as a series of distinct but connected spaces. A swimming pool, pickleball court and generous areas of lawn provide opportunities for play and activity, while richly planted terraces closer to the house create more intimate settings for dining, relaxing and entertaining.
Mature trees have been retained to give the garden an immediate sense of scale and permanence, with new trees, hedging and abundant planting bringing structure, colour and seasonal interest. A pergola defines the outdoor dining area, while quieter seating spaces and a secluded fire pit offer places to retreat from the more active parts of the garden.
The result is a garden designed to evolve with the family, balancing the practicalities of everyday life with a strong horticultural character.
