An L-shaped lawn and paved terrace provided a blank canvas to create a family garden with seasonal interest, structure and multiple seating spaces.

Plant-filled borders now mask boundary fences and help guide the eye down pathways and around corners. A new seating area at the side of the curved lawn makes an intimate place to enjoy the best of the sunshine.

At the front of the property, the existing lawn has been enhanced with planting to provide a focal point from inside the house. A new beech hedge provides privacy and a soft backdrop.

WHAT DO MY CLIENTS SAY 

“We selected Nicola Oakey Design having researched most of the local designers’ websites and after a short telephone conversation with those we shortlisted. What made Nicola stand out for us was that she clearly understood what we were looking for and gave us confidence that she would be able to come up with the contemporary garden design we were looking for. Once we had agreed to proceed, Nicola then produced a detailed landscaping plan and planting scheme. All the way through the design and landscaping Nicola worked with us to ensure our garden was what we wanted (not easy during lockdown). Nicola offers very professional but personal service. She made the process enjoyable and easy to understand for gardening novices. Nothing was too much trouble and she quickly replied to our sometimes daft questions. She has also helped us devise a maintenance plan for the garden so we can keep on top of it. We would recommend Nicola highly, we are totally delighted with the garden she has created for us and everyone that has seen it has said it looks amazing. We are really looking forward to seeing it grow and develop.”
