Town Garden

I really enjoy designing long, narrow gardens - there are lots of great options to make a real impact on what can feel quite an awkward, overlooked space.

We split this garden into zones, using different flooring materials and deep planting beds. A sunny patio by the back door leads onto a lawn for the clients dog to play. A large planting border then cuts across the garden, screening a new home office and entertaining area at the rear of the garden. Lots of multi stem trees have been added and these will fill out and offer privacy. The planting beds will also in time soften and add colour to the garden. Zoning the garden in this way really adds a sense of space and privacy to a relatively small garden.
