Cotswold Courtyard

It was a real treat to design a courtyard garden for this Cotswolds property. The clients had recently invested in a new orangery and needed a matching beautiful outdoor space for summer dining.

The area was originally exposed to the driveway and car parking so we needed to create enclosure. We’ve planted a beautiful curved hedge that will establish in time, with classic wooden gates to enter into the courtyard. The area had its design challenges, with slopes in two different directions, so we designed in steps and raised beds to address the levels and ensure an open level space for dining. Beautiful limestone pavers and cotswold gravel tie in with the property. Deep planting borders will add colour and attract bees and butterflies as the plants establish - a lovely spot for a summer G&T!
