TIS’ THE SEASON TO PLANT

We’ve just revisited a patio that we created for a client in Cambridgeshire.
The Autumn colours in the planting are fabulous! It’s a lovely balance between the evergreen structure of Beech hedging, generous late-flowering perennials like Sedum, colour-changing leaves of Spiraea, grassy seedheads and seasonal berries on the Pyracantha.

“​It makes me smile every time I catch sight of it out of the window. I just wish we had done it years ago!” Mrs M, Cambridgeshire

Now’s the perfect time to re-think your borders. Get in touch and be inspired!

So lovely to see the memorial tree and the glass leaves catching the Autumn light. Thank you for sharing Caltef Designs

Even if you’re not planning a full garden redesign, a planting refresh can really transform an outdoor space, giving it a lift, some movement and a personality! And now is a great time of year to get planning and planting!

Flick through these before and after photos of one of our projects to see how planting really made the garden;
* framing the view, adding scale, movement and texture
* generous, wide borders softened hard landscaping edges against the house
* careful planting design gives year-round interest with colour and texture

In this recent transformation, carefully chosen plants didn’t just fill the space — they brought it to life.
Of course, the refreshed patio stone and the sun shining helped too!

If you’d like us to help you refresh your planting, just get in touch.

Following on from this week’s post, we thought you might like to see some more photos of our latest garden transformation, showcasing what garden design can achieve.

From the very beginning, our vision was clear — to create a space that felt like a natural extension of our clients’ stylish home.
Every element was carefully considered:
* Thoughtful layout tailored to our clients’ needs, expertly installed
* High-quality products and materials chosen for both style and longevity

“Vanessa and Rachel were highly committed from start to finish in the careful planning and project management of the complete redevelopment of our garden. The planting scheme is very creative and it seems to change every month, offering new textures, colours and points of interest throughout the year. They took time to listen to our ideas and translated them into a creative, thoughtful design. ” Mr and Mrs L, Hertfordshire

This project has been a real team effort, bringing together expertise, creativity and quality. Thank you everyone!

A few months on, we’ve just revisited a wonderful family garden transformation in Hertfordshire — designed to bring everyone together, whatever the season.

This multi-functional space combines:
✔️ A sleek pergola for stylish entertaining
✔️ Generous patio dining for long summer evenings
✔️ A garden gym for exercise
✔️ A bespoke studio to work, relax or hang out
✔️ A firepit area for cosy nights under the stars

A beautiful aged brick wall acted as a backdrop for a new avenue of trees and lush borders, enveloping the garden in colour and texture — and with a carefully designed lighting scheme, the space can be enjoyed day or night, all year round.

Head to our website to take a look at more photos of this garden’s journey, and have a look at some of our other latest projects whilst you’re there!

Just revisited a garden we designed and finished planting two years ago — what a joy to see it maturing beautifully!
The avenue of trees has filled out just as imagined, adding structure and rhythm, casting lovely shadows and welcome shade.
Planting has really settled, full of colour, texture, and form.
It's amazing to see how the layers now play off one another, with bold shapes, soft movement, and seasonal shifts, all working together just as planned and tended so well by our fantastic client!
