The large lawn areas should accomodate the expected family’s adventurous feet while also ensuring a soft green centre to the garden area. Within the deck shall be an almost semi-circular bench with timber seating that will easily host many a deriere of an evening! The banked planting, together with some plants in pots and troughs, will soften all the edges and ensure a serene environment for Naila and Nasim to relax in.

I am always excited by the prospect of these garden designs since the grounds are indeed left as a blank canvas and we, with the clients, can truly indulge on a personalised and bespoke design that will fit well with the client’s lifestyle aspirations and procure the most function possible from their new garden space.

The monkey-puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana) is like Fugu; when handled the wring way it can be lethal! Today I had to learn how to trans-plant one without cutting myself to ribbons!

My idea was to update the fence while integrating it with the space – creating a feature but also a background foil. The garden is an informal French style space and so to marry in with the existing trellis work and the paving I wanted to add some brightness to the space.

As a designer I am frequently invited to people’s homes to discuss their requirements in the garden. Many, who have contacted me with landscaping projects in mind, simply want A patio, or A deck or A driveway and it must be THIS shape and must go HERE, THERE and THERE: but if we look at the garden in it’s entirety as part of our property; then it becomes another room – albeit an outdoor room. I wonder; would people upgrade their old and worn out bathroom by simply replacing the bath alone? It might be a whopping great shiny bath but would it not outshine the rest of the bathroom fittings and therefore actually make the room far LESS attractive – surely the opposite from the desired effect?
