Langham - Rutland
Ben and Katie wanted to create a softer, more inviting feel in their garden. They love to entertain, but their existing patio felt bare, the old curved pathway led nowhere in particular and colour was almost non-existent. With our design, plenty of determination and hard work, they have completely transformed their outdoor space — without hiring any professional landscapers—a feat that would make most families run a mile!
The brief was simple: introduce colourful planting to attract wildlife, rejuvenate the existing path and let it lead to a new seating area, keeping plenty of lawn for the children to play. We also incorporated a cutting garden into the design, ready for when they feel brave enough to start their next garden project!
We absolutely admired their enthusiasm and openness to ideas from the very first meeting. Their dedication made the garden journey a true collaboration and the result is a vibrant, family-friendly space they can be proud of.
The existing garden was a blank canvas that lacked colour and direction
Phase 1 work begins
Where old patio meets new pathway and planting is in full swing using our planting plans
A wildlife haven to view from the window, come rain or shine
What a difference a year makes!
The end result of Phase 1: no more old path and lots of soft planting - we couldn't have asked for a better sunset sky when taking the photo
