This was a garden that had lost its way and seemed much smaller than it actually was. The pronounced slope away from the house made it possible to divide the garden into discrete areas at descending levels, thus increasing the sense of space and making it feel much more interesting.

The ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures here show what a transformation good design and high quality landscaping work can achieve. This garden is, in fact, a work in progress: the tree and shrub planting has been done and the perennials will be put in next spring.
