Large Family Garden - Hertfordshire
Beautiful views over the surrounding countryside were in part obscured by high hedges in this garden. There were also some fine existing trees and a woodland area that was completely cut off from the main garden. We removed tired planting, created linking paths, opened up views and created routes around the garden areas. A disused swimming pool was converted into a pond with ‘floating’ stepping stones through the centre. A row of fastigiated Hornbeams were used to delineate the more organised area of the garden from the more naturalistic areas further from the house. Paths and terrace areas are flanked with swathes of perennial plants.
