This contemporary family garden sees high-design elements - carefully considered angled raised beds surrounding a patio, a bespoke bi-colour pergola, atmospheric remote-controlled ambient lighting - joined harmoniously with massive child-pleasing features such as the ground-level trampoline (I want one!), swingset and raised playhouse.

Please slide the arrows left and right above to get a before and after view of this perennial garden design. This large perennial garden, set in the beautiful South Norfolk village of Saxlingham Nethergate, was essentially a blank canvas. The client knew that they wanted a simple design, but one that would greatly increase the amount of planting space.

This was a lovely design for a young family living in Southampton. They wanted a clean, modern space which would be perfect for extending the play-space in the home as well as entertaining. The garden design uses exclusively straight-lines, all working parallel or perpendicular to the angled side fence.

This terraced garden design was a tricky design on a steep site. The clients wanted to increase the usability of the entire garden so the first step was to create tiers, rather than the steep bank which existed previously. Curves were introduced to make the large patio 'hug' the house and make a natural area for seating and entertaining - especially the BBQs enjoyed by the extended family.
