In the centre of Berkhamsted, an existing Victorian house, sits on a site to impress and overlook… set in a conservation area – a Heritage asset. The recently renovated and extended property had been completed and the gardens needed to match the high standards demanded by the property. Client Brief - “Our property looks amazing and we love it… but we don’t love our garden”. The immediate transition from the front garden to the back verged on the impossible. We need a rear garden courtyard terrace and a sensible materials choice to keep in line with the contemporary nature of the house and at the same time respect the Victorian Architecture. Design - In this instance, the hard landscaping dictated the initial direction for this project. Due to the uneven nature of the exiting landscape, it was essential that a raised structure was needed to create a courtyard terrace. This being the immediately usable garden space in the private courtyard to the rear of the property. A low maintenance material was considered and Millboard composite decking was the material of choice due to the texture and colour available. The detailing had to be exact, fully finished to the perimeter with trims and fascia. To accommodate the Specimen trees, Cornus Kousa ‘China Girl’, circles were created in the decking, lined with steel edging and hidden containers under the decking to accommodate the roots. These circles were offset by simple yet stylish steel water bowls… Japanese in concept and quintessentially English in design. The steep elevations were overcome by a careful design step arrangement, handmade paving units in Olive by Vande Mortel. Karl Harrison said “I always love using clay pavers as an element within my designs due to the fact they are so directional and have a way of drawing your eyes to where you want them to go. Also, this particular colour somehow manages to be both contemporary and classic at the same time”. The star of this show is the custom fabricated planters, a feature in themselves. Simple in form but complex to manufacture and deliver. The galvanized steel flower bed border was a first for this style of retaining feature. Normal bricks or a planter of some description is normally used, in this instance, the design did take over and delivered… The horticultural element of this garden design leant itself to a consistent planting scheme, a plethora of the same planting complimenting arrangement proves its worth in a contemporary style. Grasses and ferns allowed us to create a sea of texture, Carex Morrowii “Ice Dance”, Aplenium Scolopendrium, Polystichum Munitum, Dryopteris Wallichiana, Digitalis Purpurea Alba.

A great example of a front yard makeover that turns a simple sloped front yard with old dead grass and a couple of trees into a functional, beautiful stepped yard that still incorporates some grass but also stepped raised planters, natural rock, and wide substantial concrete steps and sitting areas for tremendous curb appeal!!!

We have used limestone paving, laid in random pattern, london stock brick and a pretty pink planting palette. A garden for a retired couple who love to potter. We refer to this garden as 'pretty in pink'. A garden with three seating zones, raised planters and easy management of borders. The garden features sage coloured fence and arches and yellow stock brick throughout.

Located on Lake Champlain, this landscape installation provided stone steps and landings to give access to the water. It was designed to work within the existing mountain side. Wildflower plantings were used to protect against erosion on the bank. A spa was strategically placed to be hidden from the house but still maintain a beautiful view.
