Contemporary, colourful and naturalistic, Buckinghamshire
(£££)

When we first visited this site it was heavily shaded by conifer hedging on all sides. The hedging was removed and replaced with bespoke screens painted pale blue to brighten the space whilst retaining the owners' privacy.

The dining pavillion had already been installed, so we needed to find a way to incorporate this whilst adding decking used for comfortable seating.

The diagonals introduced to the design distract attention from the garden's unusual shape, being much wider than it is long. The ground level deckboards surrounding the beds add an interesting feature edge to the border. 

The clients wanted colourful low maintenance planting, so we chose a naturalistic scheme with lots of grasses and plants with prolonged flowering. The scheme has textural interest in the early months of the year and colour throughout the summer and autumn.

A finishing touch is provided by the inclusion of the steel water wall which makes an attractive focal point to the garden.
