The garden was a blank canvas of lawn after being cleared of overgrown shrubberies. The client wanted a planting design using angular lines to create a contemporary feel. This was softened with the use of textured perennials offering a long season of floral interest throughout the summer. When established the structure of evergreen hedging sections planted between the delicacy of perennials will enhance the contemporary feel.
A French inspired Victorian garden with a contemporary twist. To achieve this, reclaimed brick (to match existing wall) were used to create circular beds. The brick is complimented by a smooth, sweeping rendered wall. Creative brick detailing at ground level is set apart using crisp cream gravel. The planting is low maintenance perennials including Lavender, Nepeta, Geraniums and Achillea.
The client wanted a taste of Italy in Wakefield without being too blatant. To achieve this, the existing fence along with the bespoke raised planters were painted a subtle olive colour. This contrasts perfectly with the rustic terracotta pots. Pleached laurel has been used to add instant height and privacy which when mature will create a seamless screen. Topiary pieces add quirky sophistication along with black painted lion heads to serve as focal points.
Working for David Wilson Homes with the onsite contractors to develop a scheme for the sales centre at this prestigious development within the former Terry's Factory. This included designing a chocolate orange sculpture to be donated to the city council. The planting was selected to offer year round structure with clipped box hedging. Flowering perennials and bulbs help to soften the angular of the buildings and enhance the materials and architecture on site.
