This lovely, lush front yard is a collection of drought tolerant perennials and ornamental grass. The small lawn is drought tolerant grass. Note the small 'Baby Blue Eyes' spruce tree in the back by the north west corner of the house, it replaced a full sized Blue Spruce threatening the house's foundation.

Perched atop a wooded ridge sits a private retreat immersed in the beauty of a mature hardwood forest. The landscape interventions all seek to highlight the natural beauty and exist in harmony with the present ecosystem. At the main level, Tennessee sandstone slabs set in grassed joints form permeable walkways and patios that deconstruct the architecture's stone facade and extend the main entrance into the arrival court. At basement level, a stone retaining wall forms the backbone to two gathering areas; one with a curtain fountain and the other around a stone fire pit. Native plantings seamlessly tie the garden spaces together and provide year-round interest, both visually and in terms of wildlife habitat.

A comprehensive renovation and extension of a Grade 2 Listed Building within the Cross Street Conservation Area in Islington, London.
The extension of this listed property involved sensitive negotiations with the planning authorities to secure a successful outcome. Once secured, this project involved extensive remodelling throughout and the construction of a part two storey extension to the rear to create dramatic living accommodation that spills out into the garden behind. The renovation and terracing of the garden adds to the spatial qualities of the internal and external living space. A master suite in the converted loft completed the works, releasing views across the surrounding London rooftops.

Painted Fern Garden Design
The awkward shape of this triangular plot, coupled with large overgrown shrubs, a large area of paving and a patch of weeds left the clients at a total loss as to what to do with the garden.
The couple did a brilliant job of removing the majority of the planting, but as the hard landscaping started, initial excavations revealed there was a vast amount of rubble and debris buried in the ground that would have to be removed from site. Once completed, the design could then move forward. Geometric lines running at different angles were used to conceal the shape of the plot, distracting from the point of the triangle, whilst visually extending the length.
A raised Florence beige porcelain patio was created between the house and garage for entertaining. The edge of the step was bull-nosed to soften any hard edges. The patio was sized to allow for a potential future conversion of the garage to a home office.
A bespoke timber pergola was created as a restful seating area and was inward facing into the garden to block out overlooking windows. Five bespoke fibre glass planters were created in a RAL colour to match the pergola. These were to be used to grow fruit and veg.
Being a walled garden, there was plenty of shelter to offer plants, but equally the garden would get quite hot in the summer. Plants were chosen that were beneficial to wildlife and sited in areas away from the main patio. A mixture of textures and colours of foliage were used to add additional interest throughout the year.
The planting mix included Phlomis italica, Amsonia tabernaemontana, Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' and Skimmia japonica 'Temptation' to span the seasons. Two feature trees used to add height were Prunus serrula and Prunus 'Amanogawa'.
