Rural Gardens
We
believe that good design should impose the lightest touch possible on
the environment. Sometimes the slightest alterations can make the
whole garden work better without the need for large areas of hard
landscaping. This is particularly important in rural sites where
nature and wildlife come to the door. We choose hard materials that
are locally used and sourced and pay consideration to what grows
naturally in the area before producing designs.
We favour mown paths
through long grass as low cost and light touch solutions to provide
access whilst respecting existing wildlife. We research wild plants
growing in the area and choose their ornamental cousins to plant
nearer the house. This ensures that high interest colour, form and
textured planting is provided to our clients and helps the planting
blend seamlessly into it's surroundings.
