Garden Design Buckinghamshire

Although not quite finished and despite the scorching weather this garden design in Denham, Buckinghamshire is looking gorgeous.

A new timber-framed house was constructed and the garden was designed with two distinct areas.  To the side of the house is a wooded area with lots of mature trees.  This was cleared of scrub and some of the smaller trees and gravel paths were laid to give a circuitous route around the area.  There is a small clearing with a fire-pit for contemplation and enjoying a quiet moment.



The back of the house has a large swimming pool with a hot tub and a timber-framed pool house.  There is a sweeping herbaceous border as well as other mixed planting with shrubs and perennials around the pool area.  The swimming pool terrace is reached by a set of curved steps that lead up from the dining terrace near the house.  There is also a large, fully-equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas barbeque, a pizza oven, a fridge and a sink, and plenty of cupboards with stainless steel doors.



At the front a formal parterre of clipped Box and Lavender with feature Olive trees creates a beautiful entrance to the property.

The garden is enclosed by flint and brick walls to echo the original materials used for building all around Buckinghamshire.  An original gate was re-made for a side entrance and the design echoed in the main pedestrian entrance gate and driveway gates.



The driveway was paved with resin-bound gravel.
