North London garden

A full garden renovation: take an existing garden back to basics and rebuild it as somewhere the clients would actually want to spend time, with custom landscaping and a water feature as the centrepiece.

We took on the whole garden rather than a single element, so the layout, levels, planting areas and hard landscaping could all be designed to work together. Custom landscaping gave the space its shape, with room left for planting to fill it with colour.

At the heart of it sits the water feature. A feature like this can't be an afterthought. It has to be planned in from the start, so the levels, the hard landscaping around it and the planting all work with it, not around it. Get that right, and the garden feels like it was always meant to be that way.

A garden full of colour, with an incredible water feature at its centre, built properly from the ground up. It's one of our favourite jobs to date.
