Take a real stroll through this stunning garden…
Hornchurch, Essex, £100k plus
We got a call from our clients to quote for the installation only as they already had a garden design produced by another company. Although the design concept was great, changes were made to the original which lacked some practicalities. We also produced a full planting plan as this hadn’t been provided originally.
Main features:
• Porcelain
• Sleepers
• Planting
• Turf
• Hot-tub
• Pergola
• Stabilising grids
• Gravel
• Metal Edging
• Lighting
• Irrigation
The garden was a complete blank canvas when we arrived which always makes for a stunning end result. Paving from London Stone was a 1200 x 600mm slab which looked fabulous with the house. We laid the rear patio on the 45-degree angle to add interest and flow to the area. The pathways were edged with grey metal edging and stabilising grids for the gravel were all supplied by CoreLP.
A vegetable garden was built with raised borders for planting and a stunning bespoke built arch at the entrance. A concrete base for a greenhouse was created and laid with the same gravel used on the pathways. A further concrete base was added at the rear of the property; both greenhouse and shed are to be installed at a later date.
Nearer the house, a 4m x 3m pergola from White Stores was installed, over a fabulous jacuzzi hot-tub, which had to be craned over the house. For the borders, we planted lots of beautiful shrubs such as Philadelphus, Ceanothus, Acers and Rhododendrons. Gorgeous trees were also added to give this spacious garden even more of a parkland feel.
The feature quadrant border, to the rear of the garden, houses four Portuguese laurels half standard trees along with a low Euonymous ‘green rocket’ hedge. Colourful perennials, such as, Agapanthus, Gaura, Verbena, Salvia, Heuchera, will fill the borders with colour during the summer month.
The lighting scheme, incorporating bollard lights and uplighters, exquisitely elevates the look and feel of this garden as dusk falls. A magical radiance is produced along the pathways and the main and quadrant borders receive a dazzling glow.
Client feedback:
We love what Alex, Ben, Will, Nick, Kaan and Fred have done to our garden. We gaze out in awe during the day and night (thanks to Warren and Dave’s mastery outdoor lighting work) and still can’t quite believe the amazing transformation. A brilliant, incredibly professional team that we would highly recommend!
