Inspiration for a medium sized rural back full sun garden for summer in Hertfordshire with concrete paving.

The property developer had installed a basic landscape plant to sell the house but the new owners wanted more and had a keen interest in gardens and art. They were also concerned about privacy with a planned new build next door. To visualise our interpretation of their vision, we firstly provided comprehensive design and mood boards. To address the privacy concern, we sourced a selection of large specimen trees & plants from Europe to not only block out views of neighbouring properties but also to create an interest bespoke space with character & confidence. Some of the trees had to be internationally sourced & delivered on escorted low loader truck trailers from Belgium, requiring specialist lifting equipment. Additional hard landscaping was also added for access through the new garden. We also found that the soil in the area was very poor draining and a heavy marl clay, so we had to replace this. In addition, we also installed a new high percolation lawn with a comprehensive drainage system that is pumped out into the main drainage.

A really lovely sitting area, enclosed by planting and warm tones to both the natural stone paving and surrounding walls, this side of the house is shaded at this time of the day, whilst the more formal areas are in sun all day long.
