New Design for a garden on a sloping site
I’ve just completed this simple design for a garden on a sloping site. Situated on a new build estate in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, this presented several issues which needed to be addressed by the garden design. Firstly the pergola with the screened back is to reduce the impact of pedestrians passing along the footpath just beyond […]

I don’t only do full garden makeovers, if all you want is a new patio that has been well constructed and will last for years to come, then I am the man for that too!

Read MoreAn Awkward family garden
Here is another example of how I make best use of an awkward shaped garden. In this case it is also a very small space attached to a new build house in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. Here I use one of the most versatile tricks in a garden designer’s playbook, which is to change the orientation […]

They also tend to lack any privacy and can leave the owners feeling very exposed and uncomfortable about being overlooked by dozens of neighbouring windows. It’s not often a practical solution to screen the garden with extra high fences and tall trees and shrubs as […]
Read MoreContemporary Townhouse Garden
The rising cost of land and pressure for more housing has seen a huge rise in the popularity of town house accompanied by a trend for ever shrinking garden sizes. First floor lounges and balconies are a great place to view your garden from, and for showing up a poor or weak design. Strong […]
Read MoreDesigning with 3D software
I have slowly been making the change over to using 3D software to create my gardens designs. I must admit it’s quite a steep learning curve but it really does solve the problem of customers who are unable to visualise a garden from 2 D plans. Though time consuming to produce I really do […]
