Loughton, Epping Forest, Essex – £200K plus
We were called in to help with this garden design project as our client had been let down by a number of previous landscapers who had quoted for the work and been told they could no longer complete the build. The brief was to design and build a new garden for their whole family to enjoy.
Main features:
- Swimming pool
- Porcelain paving
- Bullnose steps
- Pergola
- Garden levelling
- Lighting
- Planting
The design of the large upper paving area and use of bullnose porcelain steps created an organic flow onto the swimming pool. To frame the pool and accentuate a relaxed, luxury atmosphere, we built four border quadrants planting half standard olive trees, Lavender, Agapanthus, Salvia, Geranium and Carex. Each tree was up-lit and looked particularly stunning at night.
On both sides of the swimming pool, we laid porcelain paving from Arbour Landscaping Solutions that ran to a louvered pergola ready for lounge furniture to be added at a later date. From this view point the vista was stunning, showing the sprawling lawn down to where a summer house was to be later installed.
Slatted fencing was installed on the left-hand side of the garden for privacy and for evergreen coverage, Trachelospermum Jasminoides was planted.
