Concept design for a Georgian inspired garden. #GardenDesign #CotswoldsGardens #MintLD #LandscapeArchitecture

The Garden House is an exciting new project with so much potential 💫 Set around a beautiful Georgian house, the garden is currently a blank canvas — a dream opportunity for any garden designer. The Garden Design Document introduces two emerging concept designs, both designed to place the house at the heart of the landscape. The proposals include a generous central lawn framed by large, naturalistic planting borders, alongside an enhanced arrival experience, a south-facing terrace, a kitchen garden, children’s play areas - even a putting green. The design will continue to evolve through client feedback, with 3D visuals to follow. I can’t wait to bring this garden to life. #GardenDesign #CotswoldsGardens #GeorgianGardens #MintLD #LandscapeArchitecture

A recently completed initial Garden Design Document for Horseferry Bridge Farm. This document hopes to provide the client with a concept design for their garden to help inspire and encourage a more detailed design brief. The design: The proposed sketch design for Horseferry Bridge Farm aims to deliver a landscape layout that enhances the setting of the dwelling and its proposed alterations, while effectively screening views of the adjacent road and yard. The scheme includes a modest widening of the entrance to improve access, alongside new tree and hedgerow planting to provide additional screening from the road. The house is framed by soft planting and a low wall, with two centrally positioned steps offering direct access to the front door. Low walls are proposed on either side of the house, enclosing the kitchen garden and courtyard. These elements also establish a clear and secure boundary, enhancing privacy between the front and rear of the property. The rear garden has been designed to maximise connectivity with the house, supporting a strong indoor–outdoor relationship. Step-free access is maintained throughout, with a generous terrace extending to a lawn, a water feature, and views across the adjoining fields. The water feature is designed to reflect the character of a small stream,running along the field boundary. Water is introduced via a low stone wall to the north of the garden, where a secondary seating area is set within a planted enclosure of shrubs and small multi-stem trees, creating a private space to enjoy the evening sun. #GardenDesign #MintLD

Feeling refreshed after some time with nature 🍃 Pembrokeshire is always a good idea and I’m feeling inspired and even more motivated to design with nature ✍️ #GardenDesign #PembrokeshireLandscape

Very excited about the Hornbeam hedging and 3 feathered form Pyrus chantcicleer going in as part of the first phase for The Avenue 🌳

Broadleaf onsite progress 🪏 It was great to be onsite last week with @chris_hughes_gardens planting the 8 pleached Prunus L. Angustifolia (Portuguese Laurel). They are such a valuable addition to the garden and will soon flourish within their new beds with mushroom compost/ topsoil blend and automatic irrigation. Great to see the @precisionbuildersltd team making progress on the porcelain tiles which were looking super sharp in the sunshine. Looking forward to the step units going in with down lighting. Progress continues with further planting in a couple of weeks, lawn to be laid and pergola.

🍃Skyfall Work has commenced on the build of this recently commissioned garden design for a large private home in Cheltenham. Over the next week I will be putting together a prairie style planting design and specification. Large beds will soften the paved areas and frame features within the garden. Planting to include a mix of ornamental grasses and flowering perennials for a floral display which changes with the seasons 🍂 #GardenDesign #CheltenhamGardenDesign

The Avenue The garden proposed for The Avenue features an expansive family garden with a south-facing aspect, complete with a pool, formal lawn, and woodland glade. Carefully considered tree planting will enhance both visual interest and privacy, complementing the existing network of ornamental species surrounding the house, along with mature pines to the rear. The scheme will incorporate new hedging and thoughtfully designed planting beds, offering a balance of structure and seasonal interest throughout the year. A refined palette of materials, including paving, edging, and a substantial pergola will together create a cohesive language of tone and texture, delivering a high-quality, sophisticated finish. I am looking forward to developing the detailed design further in collaboration with Matt @parkinsonpropertydevelopments #GardenDesign #CotswoldsGardens

Concept design for a sunken fire pit 🔥- exploring material finishes.. The sunken fire pit is set below an outdoor kitchen with wrap around planting and a small multi stem tree (out of view!). We have been exploring material finishes to ensure the perfect aesthetic is achieved. The existing garden building and future home office will be clad with a dark composite timber, green foliage will stand out against the verticality of the building while the surrounding hard materials must complement the building. Suggested materials include varying combinations of @millboard_live_life_outside ‘Golden Oak Enhanced Grain’ composite decking and @mandarinstoneofficial ‘Dijon’ cobbles. #GardenDesign #MintLD
