The challenge with small gardens is to make the garden seem bigger, whilst still making space for the various must-haves!  Being overlooked is also a problem resolved with careful positioning of trees and other screens.

1. Relax in fragrant corner of a tiny town garden
Designed to bring fragrance into a small garden, with a modern steel frame for the panels of trellis.  Planting tumbles over the edge of a sett path that leads to a rear gate. Twickenham

2. Designs to bring light and interest to a shady side passage
Lots of small gardens have an ‘often redundant’ return passage area. Here a new rendered wall is seen from both the kitchen and sitting room French windows.  The reclaimed carved stone panel was set onto the wall with a mirror behind to reflect light through the carving. Hampton Hill

3. An outdoor space with dining and relaxing spaces amid lush, architectural foliage.
An Italianate courtyard designed in a small town garden.  The burnt orange office is a vibrant foil for the evergreen lush planting in the garden.  Lots of terracotta planters soften the black trellis panels surrounding an inner dining area.

4. Make the most of a small front garden
A small space looks so much larger and great fun with an oversized lead trough planter – a different take on the window box, so the clients can enjoy the plants from inside.  Iron work was specially designed and included a rail for storing a bike away from the path to the front door.
