I love going back to gardens that we have designed and built to see how they have come on. This idyllic retreat in Cambridgeshire, really has tranquility written over it.

In 2019 I was approached by a client wanting to change a disused space.

The client wanted an extremely informal garden and a circular grassed area. I supplied a garden design consisting of various circles which created the beautiful brick pathway and a feature central lawn.

Although the project is still not completed to date, progress is ongoing. We have planted some beautiful multi-stemmed Birch trees also and we are awaiting some planting plans.

I think this is going to be a beautiful space, once completed. A truly tranquil, quiet place.

After sustaining some serious storm damage this veteran Cedar tree based in the Cambridgeshire area needed some serious Arboricultural help.
We removed the damaged branches (some huge limbs), and created coronet cuts to offer a natural look to the cuts, and to create diverse habitats for bats and insects. Once this was completed along with a crown thin, we supplied tonnes of compost to create a mulch underneath the tree to help increase its nutrient uptake to hopefully aid the longevity and overall health of this beautiful old veteran Cedar.

After months of planning and organizing, we have finally finished a small garden design in South London. The client wanted a calming garden, low maintenance planting with a contemporary / modern feel to it. We assisted the client with a scaled drawing outlining the garden design. High quality materials were of importance. We developed a bespoke oak cantilever pergola and bespoke raised beds with cedar wood cladding. Planting was minimal yet repetitive and of an oriental feel.

This was a first attempt for us to undertake a cantilever pergola. This is for a client in St Albans, Hertfordshire. It is a completely bespoke feature and was made from soft wood. The posts are Douglas Fir and are stunning. It will be great to see this when the client has painted it and when the paving has been completed. A very happy client and a very happy team.

2018 landscaping projects are well under way. This is an Oak pergola over a circular slate seating area.
The client asked for somewhere to sit in the late afternoon where the sun hits the garden. We undertook a complete garden design here which included hard and soft landscaping. This was undertaken in Cambridgeshire.

A completed project in Cambridgeshire, where the client asked for a bespoke, sleek, modern looking decking area.
Here we have designed a hardwood decked area, with raised planters, that have been clad with Cedar wood and a pure oak pergola. The planting has a calming oriental feel with down spot lighting to enhance the ambiance.

A completed garden design project in Cambridgeshire. This garden started out completely covered in Leylandii. Once they were removed the project was able to proceed. This has an oriental feel planting. The customer who suffers with anxiety wanted a garden where he could feel secure and very calm in. 

The following pictures are the before and after photos of a large scale turfing job undertaken in Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire. It goes to show that turfing really does have instant impact. Thank you to those who helped in completing this job. Very happy customer.

Urban and Rural Landscapes planted up over 3000 bulbs last autumn in the “little orchard” garden. We have been doing some ongoing garden design work within this garden and this flourish of spring bulbs which is planted up in longer grass, really is quite striking. People often struggle with large lawns and ask me what they can do with them. Allowing grass to become taller in some areas can really change the dynamics of the garden. Mass planting bulbs that can flower from January to May can really make an area like this stand out.
