With far-reaching views over the Leicestershire countryside, retaining the open vistas and borrowed landscape were key considerations of this design.

Soft curves and flowing lines now disguise the long and thin shape of the garden, and help lead visitors through the space. A generous lawn helps to retain the open view, which is framed by trees. A meandering pathway through cottage and countryside-inspired planting now provides a more intimate route down the garden.

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.”
