Green - Portfolio

This is a selection of work that we have done for clients. Please click on the the photographs to view more images of the gardens.

FAMILY FUN	A featureless back garden was transformed into a fun-filled outside space for adults and children. A deck outside the house provides a warm, sunny place to relax and there is a large lawn for games. The low maintenance borders are full of colourful, robust plants, which wont be damaged by footballs! The far end of the garden is screened off and includes a secret Indian camp for the children and planting for wildlife.
FRIENDLY WELCOME	The front of this property slopes down to the house. A spacious, level arrival area was created by the front door, to welcome guests. A raised bed is used to display pots and planters, a particular interest of the owners. The shady, woodland style borders replace some of the lawn and are planted informally, packed with plants for year-round interest.
CLASSIC CHIC	A cool, calm design was created to complement the luxurious conversion of a family home. The crisp lines of the paving are softened by scented, low maintenance planting. A formal knot garden encloses a range of herbs and box topiary reflects the structured style of the garden.
COTTAGE CHARM	The back garden of a Victorian railway cottage was transformed into a colourful, cottage style oasis, with space to entertain, and a private seating area.
PRAIRIE PLANTING	Informal sweeps of perennials and grasses transformed a featureless driveway in the space of a year. The garden was planted in October 2005 and by the summer of 2006 a constantly changing succession of colour and texture welcomed the owners home.
DESIGN EXPRESS!	A fixed fee express design service for clients with small gardens, which they wish to build themselves. The garden should be less than 100m2 and reasonably flat. For £250, a layout plan of the new garden will be created. This can be used to build the garden as time and budget allow. Contact linda@greengardendesign.co.uk for more details. Makes a great present for a gardening or non-gardening relation! Gift vouchers available.
PERIOD PROPERTY	A work in progress. The client planned a substantial extension to their home, designed by www.heritage-design-build.co.uk. The design for the garden takes account of the level changes on the site and integrates the old and new spaces. There are a terrace for entertaining, seating areas and new borders. The clients are keen gardeners and will complete the planting of the garden themselves.
