The size of the garden is just 7.5m2 and in comparison to the show garden in 2006 at 1100m2 you would think its…

Sketch or cad drawing?

When you go to do a quote for a potential client how do you present your ideas to them about the job at hand?

Do you sketch something out on paper and talk to the client right there and then?....or do you go away and hand draw something with a little bit more care & attention to post back to the client along with your quote?

Do you take the time to go back to the potential clients property with your drawing & quote to run through it…

Planting Design - Primrose Hill London 2012

Looking forward to revisiting this North London garden.

Brief

The garden needed refreshing.  Some of the planting had outgrown the space and had subsequently been removed.  A design was…

A Landscaping Project that included sculpture. This is the first of a series of blogs showing you different examples of how artworks can be integrated into different environments. Looking back I realise that I have worked with Landscape Architects on several projects and looking forwards hope to continue to do so again but perhaps in a private context and maybe on a smaller scale.

This project evolved in collaboration with Mandy Hounsome then with RPS Design in Bristol who designed…

Although we have been designing and building gardens for 25 years, it’s only in the last eight years that we have been concentrating mainly on a contemporary style (thought we still do many traditional gardens too).

It is difficult to pick a favourite and so instead let me share a few of my favourite images of gardens, and areas of larger gardens, from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.
