A New House in Oxfordshire – A New Garden

Is exciting to move into a new house. With a New House in Oxfordshire you also have a chance to create the garden you want with a New House Comes a New Garden

This beautiful house in Woodstock on the new Blenheim Estate Park View

We extended the patio matching the paving to the existing paving to enable more space for sitting out and relaxing in the garden.

We created the beautiful borders by removing some of the lawn area. This also makes it easier to mow with borders against the wall and fence panels. If you have a New Garden to design you can choose all the plants you want and the colours you like. A New Garden provides the opportunity to work with a Garden Designer to create the garden you want.
As a garden designer we will consider providing all year round interest with shrubs, trees, and herbaceous plant.

The beautiful Cotswold stone wall we uplight with some Collingwood lights.

This is also an opportunity to create lighting in your garden. From lighting paths to creating features in your garden. In this instance we uplight the beautiful Cotswolds stone wall

Garden Ideas Small Courtyard Garden

What do you do with a paved garden. Some small courtyard gardens are often all paved but you don’t have to suffer with no planting in the garden.
I designed a garden in Woodstock a few years ago and we maintained the existing paving but cut into it to create a country style garden affect and also improved the drainage.

We even created a small raised bed at the bottom of the garden providing seating and interest. We ensured that we removed the paving and didn’t build ontop of the paving to improve drainage. So your small courtyard garden can be interesting and not just a depressing paved area. If you need some design inspiration from a Garden Designer Cotswolds please contact us. We design and work with the landscapers to deliver the garden you want.

Gardeners Question time was asked this very question. BBC Gardeners’ Question Time

If you need help with you garden whether a small courtyard garden or large country house in Cotswolds please contact us for an informal chat.

This garden was originally designed by William Kent(1685-1748). One of the most celebrated designers of the landscape movement. This movement moved away from formality and and focused more on being in harmony with nature, using paths and vistas to take you to desitnations or lead your eye to the horizon
