Garden refresh, St Margarets.

A basement garden in need of thoughtful reconfiguration and improved space planning. The existing layout felt tight and awkward, so this project focused on opening up the space, improving circulation, and creating more practical areas to sit and relax.

Before and after

This basement garden was ready for a rethink. The layout was not making the most of the space, so we reconfigured the design to create a better flow and a more usable area. With a clearer structure, improved levels and fresh planting, it now feels open, inviting and much more in tune with the rest of the home.

This basement and ground–level garden needed a more efficient use of space. We reconfigured the stairs to create room for additional seating in the lower garden, while securing the upper level with contemporary fencing and a new gate, which was essential for this corner property.

Fresh turf and subtle lighting were added to the upper garden, with step lighting installed to softly illuminate the descent into the basement garden. The result is a space that feels safer, brighter and more connected to the interior rooms.

Returfing, Richmond.

The garden needed lighting, planting and re-turfing after the installation of a new garden office at the bottom of the plot.

Before and after

This long garden needed a clear path with lighting to the garden office at the end of the garden, along with fresh planting and a level lawn area that would be easier to maintain.

We levelled this long garden in Richmond and laid new turf after years of compaction from the previous owner and recent building work. A new path was installed leading to the garden office at the end of the garden, with a lighting system added to safely illuminate the route in the evenings.

Planting was chosen to complement both the path and the lighting, adding texture and interest without feeling overbearing. The result is a simple, calm space that connects the house and office with a much more usable lawn.
