Garden redesign, Long Ditton.

Posted on by joe

The garden needed an update after the new owners moved in, with a layout that suited how they wanted to use the space now and in the future.

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.

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.

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.
