<h3>Feng shui garden</h3>
<p>This garden in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside uses local natural materials to enhance the Yorkshire stone of the farmhouse. Designed according to the principles of feng shui, the garden has generous curves and flowing lines throughout the site. A central theme of circular patios is complimented by soft planting, a large lawn and a wildflower meadow which links the garden to the surrounding countryside. </p>

<h3>Walled garden with decking</h3>
<p>We used gabions – metal baskets filled with stone – to create a stunning and sustainable wall for this garden. The gabions were filled with stone reclaimed from the site. Not only is this great for the environment as no transport was involved, it complements and blends into the surrounding landscape.</p>
<p>Softwood decking offers a children’s play space and an informal sitting area.  The original back garden was excavated to provide a sheltered oasis, away from the prevailing winds.</p>
<p>An innovative water feature runs along two sides of the decking, giving texture and movement to the decking area.</p>
<p>The natural stone blends effortlessly with the stonework of the farmhouse.</p>

<h3>From farmyard to garden</h3>
<p>Originally a working farm, this garden was created in the original cattle yard. A dramatic transformation has given the clients a new space in which to relax, while retaining the feel of a rural location, with dedicated pathways and planting. We reused the original animal troughs to create a water features that reflect the farm’s history. The gracefully sweeping feature wall wraps around the garden providing a beautiful backdrop and adds structure to the scheme.</p>

<h3>Terraced urban garden</h3>
<p>We transformed this garden from a steep slope into a three-tier terraced garden. The use of hand-filled stone gabions provided a stable retaining solution to the garden and offers texture and functionality. </p>
<p>Midnight limestone paving helps create a contemporary seating area overlooking the other two garden levels, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.</p>
<p>Bright flowering Rudbeckia adds a splash of colour and contrast to the stone of the patio and gabions, with mixed herbaceous plants adding texture to the rest of the patio.</p>
