This small town garden was a difficult shape due to an additional piece of land added to it. The design creates a large contemporary space for dining and entertaining including a timber pergola seating areas. A new astroturf lawn is edged with a resin bound gravel path leading to small secluded seating area. Lots of colourful and lush planting have made this a much loved and cared for garden.

“We brought in Heartwood Garden Design to transform our tiny garden and we weren’t disappointed. We love this new space we have, it’s perfect for our large family and our lifestyle and has been an amazing transformation. We really appreciated the plant aftercare provided and really love taking care of the garden.”

This large family garden in Hertfordshire was created from a blank regular garden laid to lawn with an existing above ground swimming pool. Over a number of years colourful flowing planted borders have been added and 20 small and medium sized garden trees have been planted. Many new seating areas were created in the garden to make the most of areas of sun and shade and views of the garden. It is now beautiful, tranquil and full of birds, bees and insects.

This garden design was a blank canvas. We proposed a large area of Millboard composite deck to provide a large contemporary outdoor space with level threshold access to the house. New porcelain paving to the side of the property extended the contemporary and low maintenance look as well as a sweeping resin bound path leading to a sunny seating area. New planted borders and colourful planting for sun and shade completed the look in the back garden. New standard trees were also added to the boundary to provide greater seclusion and screening. In the front garden existing poorly laid concrete pavers were replaced with flowing resin bound gravel and porcelain pavers creating a contemporary and accessible route to the front door.

“To have our garden professionally designed and landscaped has completely opened up the outdoor areas of our house. We have a large and beautiful deck to enjoy relaxing and entertaining and we’re delighted with the result.’
