Corner plot with mature trees - Thames Ditton

This large corner plot was really overgrown, almost all of it invisible from the patio. We identified and celebrated some lovely existing plants and set about making something that worked for a young family with future gardening aspirations. A space to play and grow.

Built by Chestnut Gardens.
Project Year: 2024
Project Cost: £50,001 - £75,000
Country: United Kingdom
