Case study: Bexley Village, Kent

An informal, cottage-style garden nearer the house, with a sunken trampoline and bespoke climbing frame for children was created, alongside a raised bed for shade-tolerant plants.  A beautiful convex fence was added along the border and a curved Jura Beige Limestone patio installed to complement the fence shape and add a rustic feel to the garden.

At the far end of the garden, within a wilder space, a newly designed summer house/office was built with an attached adult entertaining space and a repurposed water feature. Based on old, rural, American-style farm houses, it has a porch-style deck, a swing seat, a vintage wooden door and reclaimed old windows, including stain glass, which throws some colour into the space as it catches the last of the evening sun.
