The snow is a blank canvas

When your garden is under several inches of snow
the paths, lawns and patios have all disappeared
from sight. There’s this big white blank canvas. It’s
just how I see your garden when the survey is on the
drawing board and all the existing features have
been taken away.
When you live with your garden, it’s very difficult to
imagine how it could look and the different ways it
could be configured. Taking a new strong design
into the garden always has such a wonderful effect
on you! It isn’t magic, but sometimes it feels that
way. There are basic design principles for all
shapes and sizes of gardens, but add to this your
own ideas, passions and lifestyle and the garden
becomes something personal and wonderful. I
started designing your gardens in the 1980s and
back then I would employ other contractors to build
your gardens. Although the gardens were built well,
I wanted them to be outstanding and decided the
only way was to have a design AND build company.
It was quite handy that I’d married Kevin, who
handled major construction projects in London for
MACE (Management and Construction Excellence).
He’d built things like Chelsea Harbour so domestic
gardens were well within his capabilities! Kevin left
London and our very own landscape company was
formed. The one thing that I love about designing
your gardens is you, my clients. Without fail, you
have all been such lovely people. Of all the boring
things that take our money, the garden is the only
thing that can give us years of pleasure in the
investment. I’ve designed, literally, hundreds of
gardens and going back to see them is like visiting
an old friend. If you’d like to look at ideas for your
garden - (whatever it’s size, you’d be amazed what
you can do) – then please call for a free, no
obligation appointment to talk things through. Just
think what could be underneath that snow!
