This rural riverside home required a thoughtful touch to bring together the picturesque countryside setting and sloping garden.

Incorporating an existing garden studio and decked terrace, tiered timber borders and steps lead down to the river. A new paved area provides space to sit by the water. Inspired by the setting, the planting combines moisture-loving plants at the water’s edge with soft, natural-looking perennials and shrubs closer to the house.

From the homeowners…

“Nicola listened to our ideas, limited as they were, took them away and came back with fantastic designs for our new garden, including all the hard landscaping and artistic impressions of the final outcomes. It was way more than we ever anticipated and we immediately moved to the next stage.”

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.”
