Free Garden Design Advice : Berkshire Garden Designer

This client was looking for a landscaper in Berkshire and contacted Earth Designs for some suggestions as to what to do with their outdoor space. They had bought the house a couple of years ago and renovated the inside and were now turning their attention to the garden The client had developed a keen interest in gardening and was happy to grow plant from seed to help reduce the costs.

They liked a curvy garden design and so we suggested using a wave patio paving on the area directly outside the back door, with a large sweeping curved pathway running across the space and dividing the garden into elliptical shapes.

The pathway leads across the space to the bottom right hand corner where a large vegetable garden is proposed. An arch marks the entrance with a central raised bed acting as an herb garden A bay tree planted in the centre creates a focal point. Four more raised planter are positioned around the area.

Travelling in the opposite direction across the garden, a second pathway leads under a walkway of scented arches to past a water feature at the end of the space. This water feature is raised and eyecatching. Two pools, one higher than the other are clad with v-tiles and copper mosaic tesserae tiles and fed with a water blade. The area towards the back of the garden is for lounging with a statement piece of furniture such as a semi circular sofa and stools. This area gets a lot of sun so the addition of a shade sail helps to offer some relief from the midday sun if required. A small entrance from this area to the vegetable garden helps with flow in the space and allows the client to move freely throughout the garden.
