RECENT PROJECTS
Eltham Garden - London
A client self-build, in planned stages to maximise budget
A re-design of a garden in Eltham in London. The design was done to allow the owners to self build the project in stages over several years at their own pace.
First Stage was a weekend shed makeover.
Followed by added most hard landscaping improvements.
Front Courtyard & Back Walled Garden - Kingsbridge, Devon. My Self Built in Lockdown 2020
This was originally an assessment for my Post Graduate Diploma in Garden Design at the British Academy. However during Lockdown I decided to build the gardens to improve my own building skills and understanding of materials.
Entrance Courtyard
Improvement and upgrade of the entrance courtyard on a minimal budget. The original floor is concrete paving with Breezeblock walls which was covered with Greystone clippings and Golden Pea Gravel. The walls where painted Dove Grey. Large Green Planters were used to specimen trees with underplanting. Old 1930's milk churns were up-purposed to create an art installation called 'not the Devon Cream' - and a swirling line of gold grave snakes across the courtyard as if spilling out.
Back Walled Garden
The back walled garden is still work in progress but with a drop of over 2 metres in 10 meters the key task is to try and create terracing across the garden to use at different times of the day and make the sharp incline more useable.
The original cottage was a converted barn, which became a multi-level bungalow in the '80s. So the interior is also being improved.
Salcombe Garden Project -
- A year to design and build with all the challenges of lockdown.
My Biggest project to date is the re-design of a garden in Salcombe. Site access is through a small side passage. I took on the site clearance - that took nearly 6 weeks. Most of the garden had not to be touched in some 20 years.
Then the hard landscaping involved the rebuilding of 3 dry stone walls (Which has taken one of the best stone mansions in the area nearly 6 months to complete. Also, a garden room was built by 'Inside out Garden Rooms.' Finally, a hot tube was craned over the house onto the site, Tonnes of slate dressed all the new paths and walls. This month will see all the planting completed and the project finally topped off and handed back to the clients.
