With several dogs and children this client required a practical solution. The design utilised artificial turf to provide an effective space in the shady site. Raised beds and a fruit and vegetable garden also featured in the design

After
This long garden belonged to a traditional Victorian villa in Cardiff and the brief was to provide a segmented garden with three areas and to improve the overall level of privacy as the garden was overlooked by neighbouring properties.

Below is the video showing the design in 3D and photos of the finished garden
This garden swept around two sides of a house in St Mellons, Cardiff. A new conservatory had been added to the house and the client wanted a total reworking of the garden. We designed a sequence of crescent shaped curved layers to provide a set of flowing forms around the house.
A patio sighted for the late afternoon and early evening sunshine was raised to catch the last rays of the sun and adjacent was a small wildlife pond with an integrated and lit cascade.

Here’s a pair of containers that we supplied for a client’s terrace – right outside the kitchen door – perfect for cooking! Although the containers are only a metre wide and 30cms deep we were able to fit the following hardy herbs in there.
Our client gets a lot of rabbits in their garden but was keen to grow their own fruit, vegetables and flowers for arranging. We built them this large enclosure and planted the fruit last year. Lots of species including summer and autumn raspberries, red, green and yellow gooseberries, red, white and blackcurrants, blueberries and more. Elsewhere in the garden we have planted apples, pears and quinces. All the fruit beds have weed fabric fitted and mulch laid – so no weeds – low maintenance indeed.
This year we’ll be planting vegetables in the enclosure as well as annuals for flower arranging and for inclusion in the ornamental garden elsewhere on the site.

Fruit and Veg growing is certainly a growing trend. We built several productive gardens last year and will be going back to photograph their progress later this year once there’s some foliage!
Meanwhile here’s one of this year’s new projects. This is a great Before and After example. A productive garden in the making. We’ve used FSC sourced timbers to create an easily manageable space with room for fruit and 5 raised vegetable beds to allow crop rotation and a bed for perennials such as asparagus.
The fruit has been planted (raspberries, apples, plums, blackcurrants, jostaberries, gooseberries, and blackberries) and the compost bin built. Here’s to a productive spring
Below is the original plan that we created for the client plus a couple of other pics
