COUNTRY GARDEN DESIGN
A well-designed country garden is a beautiful thing. There’s a reason that people from all over the world flock to see the quintessential British country garden. The original landscape architects understood exactly how to make the most of a country landscape, using levels, views, light, water and planting to create places of peace and relaxation.
REFLECTING THE LANDSCAPE
Ideally, a perfect country garden should be in synergy with its landscape. That means considering any constraints that you might have – including boundaries, existing trees, and neighbouring properties. By designing a garden that respects these elements, while also bringing in the contemporary features that today’s homeowners desire, you can create a wonderful place for you, your family and your friends.
And of course it’s important to consider the garden design in the context of your property. This includes the architecture, the local materials and the style you have created. If you have a period house with a contemporary extension, for example, we’ll reflect that in our design. If you have a preference for materials, we can adopt that too, so that your country garden absolutely reflects your taste.
THE BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Understanding the existing landscape is critical to a lasting country garden design. While the selection of trees, hedging, planting and materials is fundamental to getting this type of garden right, the design actually starts with getting to grips with what is already there.
Of course, anything can be changed or built, but we want to make sure we make the most of your budget and your time, so our designs are always focused on a smart use of resources, with as little disruption as possible to you and your neighbours.
Practical Elements
We also consider all the practical elements, just as connecting utilities for swimming pools, pool houses, garden lighting, entertainment areas and outdoor kitchens. By making detailed installation plans alongside our 3D garden designs, we make sure that the project is carried out as seamlessly as possible.
