Ayrshire: Terraced Family Garden Design in Stewarton

The Plan is to incorporate a circular theme based on the client’s own idea of having circular steps from the back doors: I have developed this throughout the space to produces an orbital series of elipsing circles to form each element in the garden design.

Renfrewshire: Entertainment Decking Garden Design in Howwood

My initial ideas for the garden design were to compliment the shape of the plot – Robert didn’t want the space to be divided up in the manner that it had been previously and wanted to view the whole area from the vantage of the requested deck area. My use of diminishing circles accentuates the length of the garden certainly, but helps to lead the eye down and around the garden and take in the pleasure of the planting.

Lanarkshire: ‘Outdoor Room’ Garden Design in East Kilbride

My initial idea was to provide a decked area outside of the French doors at the back of Dougie and Judith’s kitchen/living room, but had to play around with shapes and sizes until finding something that felt right. I began with a cubic theme to the garden but then felt on reflection that curves would suit Dougie and Judith’s sense of style more. Once confirmed the rest of the garden was structured around this circular deck which will be sunken to meet ground level.
