Small Garden Design - Ascot, Berkshire

I have just finished the garden design plans for this small back garden in Ascot, Berkshire.  This is a typical newish build estate-type rear garden – small, an odd shape with a slight level change both lengthwise and across its width.

The brief for the new design was to make the garden more attractive with larger seating areas that make maximum use of the sunniest spots of this North facing plot.  The client prefers curved shapes and wanted the garden to be more interesting and to function as an outdoor room.  A key requirement was to provide outdoor space for the clients two boisterous dogs whilst keeping them out of the borders to prevent them destroying the plants.  The client’s preference is for textural, architectural planting with some spots of colour provided by dramatic perennials such as Agapanthus.

This dynamic scheme has two interlocking circular lawns separated by curved stone pathways, flanked with raised borders.  Two half-moon shaped raised beds to either side of the enlarged patio area, and a circular planter in the centre of the terrace elevate the planting and provide informal seating and visual interest.  The raised planting will discourage the dogs from jumping straight onto the borders and should preserve the new planting.  The patio area extends down the side of the garden to provide a generous dining area, plus additional seating in the part of the garden that has the most sun.
