design and build
‘Every time we see the garden it makes us smile. Can’t wait to see the planting grow and develop through the seasons. Look forward to sitting in the new seating areas, enjoying the sun at different times of the day and appreciating the different views and smells. Thank you Andy and Lou for dreaming up this design which reflects who we are and fits our stage of life. Thanks too for bringing it all expertly to fruition.’

Full Colour Design with Planting Pallet…
‘We love our home where we have lived for more than 30 years and have enjoyed our small and peaceful back garden where we can sit and enjoy the sun and the beauty of creation. I have often wondered how it could be re-designed with less straight lines, more appropriate planting, easier maintenance, but I felt overwhelmed. Andy and Lou came to meet us, looked at the garden and our home and have come up with an exciting design that reflects who we are and our interests. I love the sea and the design reminds me of Porth when the tide goes out; it leaves large sand ripples and pools. We look forward to seeing the project progress and watching the planting mature through its first year.’

A wonderful ‘birds eye view’ from a bedroom window…
The largest of the 3 circles creating plenty of seating for dining…
The grey cobbled ‘fish tail’ slots around the corner of the house…
As you walk through the dining area you can see how all the other shapes connect…
Even though the espalier Judas Tree is in its dormant stage, it still provides an interesting structure…
We look forward to visiting Geoff & Rachel to see how the garden begins its first season bursting into colour, texture & form with all the grasses, evergreens, and hidden elements that are waiting to emerge in the spring/summer of this year!
This view captures the essence of what this design is about, with its shapes, textures & colours!
The ‘bubbles’ from the fish mouth provide stepping stones to wander through the grasses…
The curvaceous serpentine line of the wall embraces the paving & fish head…
A new fresh look front border which once established will have a backbone of formal evergreens, softened with grasses and a splash of purple coloured fireworks from the Allium Gigantiums!
