A courtyard and terrace have been rejuvenated to provide an inviting place to entertain and socialise.

The levels of the space were reconfigured to connect this newly designed area with the rest of the garden, creating one coherent space.

The house, made from locally quarried sandstone, was the influencing factor for the material choices in the garden. It was important to ensure that the hard landscaping was in-keeping with the age of the property and retained the rustic, timeless atmosphere of the garden.

The planting in the garden softens the terraces, as well as helping to define different areas and add plenty of seasonal interest. Close to the house, topiary spheres have been used to add structure, which are contrasted by airy ornamental grasses. Tucked in one of the planted borders, next to the main dining space, a water feature adds sound and movement.

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.”
