Before and after

This large garden needed a complete rethink in terms of layout and future use, having last been updated over twenty years ago.

Project description

This large garden in Long Ditton needed a fresh approach, having been last updated around twenty years ago. We worked with Garden Designer Deb Cass and the client to understand how best to use the generous space, bringing more light and new planting into the garden while preserving key established plants.

The end result creates new spaces to amble around the garden, along with a large lawn for the young family to play on and a small man-made hill to add a sense of fun. A composite deck frames a beautiful Japanese maple, and a clay paver path connects a new route through the garden and planting, opening up new views from inside the house.
