We are all very excited to be working on this current project – a modern, cutting-edge outhouse with courtyard and the complete re-design of surrounding areas. The brief was to replace an existing PVC conservatory with a new, modern outhouse. The beautiful period property provides an elegant and suitable contrast to the array of contemporary building materials used throughout the project. The high-spec in house design combines the use of downs blend bricks, a custom built oak timber frame and a contemporary glass roof; complying with the clients brief to provide an outside space that can be used all year round. Our highly skilled landscape designers have connected the new building to the house through a cleverly articulated courtyard.

One of our current projects is this large formal English garden in Curdridge in the Meon valley. The house was recently built to a very high standard using the finest local materials and the client was keen for the Garden to compliment this. A central courtyard laid in reclaimed cobblestones is bordered by large brick and Flint walls. The bricks were handmade in sussex and the flints are from Hampshire. The Knot garden is reached by passing through a line of Pleached hornbeam trees. The large Potager beds are built using English oak sleepers and each bed has a surround of box hedging. Nearing completion at the rear is a large terrace laid in “Travertine”.

This is one of our most recent projects undertaken in the rural setting of Soberton.  The works consist of the ‘first phase’ of a design plan which the clients already had produced.  The design incorporates a new large patio area, a raised seat, trellis screens and archways, a new wildlife pond and extensive alterations and additions to the planted areas.

This project is a large driveway alteration, based upon the clients own design.  The design increases the size of the area, by adding a turning circle, extending and reshaping the existing borders and the increasing the available parking areas.  By increasing the area size, it is also going to ensure the new driveway is more in proportion with the adjoining house and front lawn areas, offering a soft flowing design sympathetic to the building.

We are currently working on a patio renovation in Alresford.  The clients requested an overhaul of the existing tired concrete slab patio, which was starting to break up in places, becoming unsafe, and unsightly.  Following our initial site consultation, we agreed to replace the paving with a new natural stone product, using different sizes of slabs laid in a random pattern to add to the aesthetic appearance.

One of our latest projects include a detailed garden makeover for one of our clients in Hamble.  Following several discussions with the client, we were able to produce the design plan shown below, which includes two patio areas – one at the top of the garden against the house, and another at the bottom of the garden.  The lower patio will be covered with a radial pergola.  The mid section will become a decorative scree area, surrounded by planted borders to add all year round interest and colour.
