Country Garden Buckinghamshire

This Chilterns garden was updated by creating a new entrance to the house, a series of terraces around the property and repositioning the parking further from the house.

The front entrance has been defined with drum shaped beech pillars, and the existing beech hedge renovated. Lavender leads to the front door, and a gravel garden has relocated the parking further from the house, softening the entrance.

A series of terraces wrap around the house leading to the lawn. A new Orangery forms the focus at the rear of the house. Evergreen structure and perennials create colour and drama through the year.

The swimming pool was renovated retaining the original structure but adding new pool copings and French Limestone paving. Blue irises and lavender beds are set next to the small orchard. The stone-clad wall was built to gate off the pool for safety and provide structure to the garden.
The woodland was renovated by thinning trees and shrubs then planting perennials and ferns. New borders were added, framing the views to the vineyards. A cone shaped yew was introduced as a partner to an existing specimen.

A new driveway with an avenue of ornamental pear trees has been completed in a later phase and the client’s vineyard has now been planted.

A new phase of this garden is The Old Tennis Court Garden.
