The client desired a practical yet representational space with a comfortable sitting and relaxing area. Additionally, the design needed to comply with conservation requirements while incorporating elements that reflected the neighbourhood's character and the period architecture of the building. Learn about how we were able to achieve these design goals: A prominent feature of tile mosaic, referring to Victorian and Edwardian-era design, was included on the main path between the gate and the entrance. Installed dark slate slabs, matching the colour of the darkest tile on the mosaic to the main patio area. A simple pergola around the patio was added to provide a sense of privacy. We formalised the layout by including decorative, low-hardwood slat screening around the hedge and other plant beds.

This intimate space invites you in, with three arched frame mirrors creating the illusion of a space much larger. The evergreen Trachelospermum jasminoides works to hide the high brick walls creating intimacy and the fragrance in the early evening adds to the feeling of an exotic hanging garden.

This is a very small space that measures approximately 20x14 feet and gets very little sunlight. The client is from New Orleans where they still maintain a house and wanted something that would remind them of home so we went with a contemporary take on the New Orleans-style courtyard. This space was unused and the landscape died as a result of poor soil conditions, poor drainage and heavy shade long before we took on the project. Our mission was to 1) Invite the homeowner into a space they were familiar and comfortable with, and 2) Involve all of their senses (aesthetics for the eyes, water fountain for the ears, fragrant flowers and herbs for the nose). This picture is the left side of this outdoor living space which features a refurbished fountain. The client had this fountain laying in the corner of the courtyard, broken and forgotten. We had a specialist restore it and give it the patina that creates the sort of character you would expect from a New Orleans style courtyard. Again, this is a very small area that was unused and is now a permanent and regular part of this client's daily living.

Topiary is a fantastic way of adding evergreen structure to a garden. You may think that you won't be able to or can't get the budget together for an amazing garden like this with no budget to speak of.But you can plant your own -( free-) box parterre- by taking box cuttings, either from a friend who is trimming their box plants, or by going into the forest and taking some cuttings.Box is a tree that grows in the wild in many forests.Box cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn will root quickly and be ready for planting out the following spring.

Lots of color and texture in the plants here in this casual cottage-y front yard garden. Surrounded by an iron fence which supports a climbing rose, the enclosed space is full of texture-rich foliage to provide year round interest, from the foundation plants to the grasses and the ground covers.
