September’s calendar garden takes us to Normanton le Heath in Leicestershire.

Our clients had a modern new build home in open countryside, with fields on one side and neighbours’ windows on the other.

They wanted privacy without losing the countryside view.

Our design features a contemporary water rill that runs the length of the garden, and is on the sightline through the house from the entrance hallway. Trees screen the boundary with the neighbours, and grasses, Amelanchier and purple alliums tie the planting into the fields beyond.

A couple of weeks ago we visited a project in progress near Bakewell. 

The site contains a steeply sloping rear garden with views across the Peaks and Chatsworth, but the slope makes the bottom of the plot hard to reach.

The plan is a series of terraces – which you can see taking shape – flowing down from the top, held by stone walls, with new paving to tone with the house and its surroundings.

Formal seating will sit close to the house, with casual spots further down to catch different aspects of the garden, plus a pond and subtle lighting for the evenings.

We’ve left space for a new Hartley Botanic greenhouse, fruit trees and a bit of veg growing, and low maintenance planting with year round colour built around favourites like Phlox and Asters.

We hope to be able to show you some of the design visuals soon.

While we were there, we presented our design scheme for the next stage – the front garden and driveway.

We showed you this garden in last week’s reel. The full write-up is now on the website, with the design story, the planting and everyone who worked on it 👀 Check out our bio.

The steel pergola was by far the biggest build challenge in this garden. Twelve metres long, and spanning a drop of two metres, each double leg is an inverted L-shape that supports the next one. It’s a feat of engineering!

It runs across several levels as it descends a sloping bank, framing a floating concrete staircase and a paved seating area below. Manufactured by Nicole DF and installed by Ravenstone Garden Services Ltd.

If your own garden needs settling into its landscape, we’d love to hear about it.

Yesterday we said goodbye to Georgina as she’s headed off for a new chapter. Georgina has been with us since work experience when she was at college, and she’s been a key member of the design team for the last couple of years. It’s sad to see her go, but we know she’ll be brilliant at what she does next.

We packed her off with some amazing flowers from Fancy That of Ashby 🌹

August’s calendar garden finds us in Hilton, Derbyshire, at a property we have worked on in stages for over thirteen years.

It’s a large plot, and we initially worked on some planting beds at various places in the garden. Then in 2016 our clients had a large extension built and asked us to design a formal rear garden. There was one side of the garden where the clients were undecided as to what to do with it, so our design was left fairly basic at that end, so it could be properly designed around whatever the clients decided to build.

In 2021 they decided on an orangery, and so we designed the surrounds to blend in with the garden we’d designed some years earlier.

However, the orangery never happened, and instead the clients have built a swimming pool. The images here are our 3D renders of our scheme, tying the swimming pool surrounds into the rest of the garden space.

We’ll be visiting in the next few days, so hopefully we’ll have some photos of the whole thing for you.
