Rest and restore garden

A long, uneven garden transformed into a haven of relaxation and joy

Our clients had recently bought and renovated their home yet felt uninspired by their long, uneven, semi-overgrown garden

Inspired by our clients’ love of wandering through the Cotswolds, we introduced a new path that meanders through the garden. 

Newly adjusted levels create intriguing pockets of interest and hidden nooks to discover around the garden. Swathes of ornamental grasses mingle with modern cottage-style planting, giving an immersive, tranquil feel while also attracting pollinators.

Reclaimed bricks extend the existing terrace, offering generous room for entertaining all year round. A recessed seating area nestles into the lawn - the perfect spot to enjoy the last of the evening sun with views to the woodland and kitchen garden beyond.
