Long Thin Garden - Crowthorne, Berks
52m long but only 5.5m wide and sloping upwards, this garden was impractical and under used. The formal design leads the eye across the garden, making it appear wider. Retaining brick walls create level areas for both shady and sun filled terraces, a wildlife friendly pond and a small lawn. A timber pergola is planted with easy to maintain climbers.

Three Acre Family Garden - Upper Basildon, Berks
This rural garden is surrounded by native hedges and meadows. It was important that the new design fitted into this landscape. Naturalistic style planting of herbaceous perennials and grasses helps achieve this. The design includes a swimming pool, a tennis practice wall, a croquet lawn, a sunken seating area, two large terraces and a table tennis loggia.

Large Child Friendly Garden - Southend Bradfield, Berkshire
The brief was for a child-friendly garden, with lawns for play, a separate space for play equipment, and an open outlook so small children could be viewed from the house. Very important was a path circulating the garden for children to ride their bikes on. Lighting and a simple pebble fountain water feature add interest.

Front Garden for Period Property - Crowthorne, Berks
The front garden of this Edwardian property was run down and impractical. Deteriorating tarmac was replaced with attractive clay pavers and raised brick beds were planted with box hedging, lavender and topiary. Security is provided by wrought iron gates echoed by ironwork rose obelisks. The new garden allows ample space for parking, whilst reflecting the style of the house.
