Envision Landscape StudioThis small tract home backyard was transformed into a lively breathable garden. A new outdoor living room was created, with silver-grey brazilian slate flooring, and a smooth integral pewter colored concrete wall defining and retaining earth around it. A water feature is the backdrop to this outdoor room extending the flooring material (slate) into the vertical plane covering a wall that houses three playful stainless steel spouts that spill water into a large basin. Koi Fish, Gold fish and water plants bring a new mini ecosystem of life, and provide a focal point and meditational environment. The integral colored concrete wall begins at the main water feature and weaves to the south west corner of the yard where water once again emerges out of a 4” stainless steel channel; reinforcing the notion that this garden backs up against a natural spring. The stainless steel channel also provides children with an opportunity to safely play with water by floating toy boats down the channel. At the north eastern end of the integral colored concrete wall, a warm western red cedar bench extends perpendicular out from the water feature on the outside of the slate patio maximizing seating space in the limited size garden. Natural rusting Cor-ten steel fencing adds a layer of interest throughout the garden softening the 6’ high surrounding fencing and helping to carry the users eye from the ground plane up past the fence lines into the horizon; the cor-ten steel also acts as a ribbon, tie-ing the multiple spaces together in this garden. The plant palette uses grasses and rushes to further establish in the subconscious that a natural water source does exist. Planting was performed outside of the wire fence to connect the new landscape to the existing open space; this was successfully done by using perennials and grasses whose foliage matches that of the native hillside, blurring the boundary line of the garden and aesthetically extending the backyard up into the adjacent open space.

Eclectic back garden wall in Portland with a living wall.
The London Gardener LtdWe worked with Darren Oldfield Architects and Imperfect Interiors as part of a period house renovation. Our clients wanted a low maintenance garden that they could use all year round. We used pleached trees, installed an bespoke oak pergola and planted a mix of evergreens and multi-stems plants to soften the structures and give the garden privacy. We were asked to disguise the gym/office and this was done by painting it a dark grey green so that it became hidden and part of the garden.
Jane Ashley Garden DesignThis large informal Ealing garden had previously been used for ping pong, trampolining, and family life. As the children grew up and the trampoline was removed, there was more room for growing beautiful plants. We reduced the size of the lawn and added deep curved borders which we filled with joyous combinations of plants providing a long season of interest.
Plants have been selected on the basis of shape and texture as well as their colour. Grasses provide a sense of movement.
The flower border colour schemes range from harmonious combinations of soft blues, and gentle mauves and purples to vividly contrasting pink and orange.
Shrubs and trees take centre stage in the spring and autumn displays. These include the gentle spring pinks of camelias and malus, and the vibrant autumn reds of stag’s horn sumach and virgina creeper.

Jane Ashley Garden DesignCaptivating classical garden in a prestige location close to the River Thames in Chiswick. It combines waves of colour and greenery to the garden with a formal structure that complements the fine architecture of the house. The traditional olive jar is a striking centrepiece which constitutes a fitting focal point for the garden. Clay pavers were used to create paths and steps around the garden in an appropriate style.
Wagner HodgsonSouth Cove Residence
Shelburne, Vermont
This 15 acre site is located on the southern end of historic Shelburne Farms, a property originally designed by Frederick Law Olmstead for the Vanderbilt / Webb family. The site design attempts to soften the formal, classical character of the house with a minimal approach to the landscape. The stone and wood house is sited to enjoy both the southern and westerly views while integrating within the rolling agrarian landscape. The design creates a series of outdoor spaces which through classic geometry fade away into the more rugged lakeshore. A simple, yet elegant bluestone terrace bordered by perennials and a low stonewall, creates a space for entertaining on the south side of the house. Large trees of 8" and 10" caliper were planted to add a feeling of maturity to the landscape while creating a sense of intimate scale.
