This garden restoration project demonstrates how a garden can be restored to its former glory by applying garden design principles and expert landscaping knowledge.

Garden Restoration Project

My client had a grade 11 listed property in Oxfordshire with a very confused garden that needed simplifying and opening up.

Here you can see the restored Knot Garden.

York Stone pavers was used with a reclaimed stone planter, Pleached Malus trees to screen ugly fencing, Bay trees for structure, gravel for low maintenance and simplicity, and lots of bulbs to pop up throughout the year for colour interest.

Reclaimed York Stone flooring was used and the box shapes are under-planted with various bulbs including Allium Giganteum.

This depicts the garden in an overgrown, untidy state with misshapen flower beds, overgrown box and surrounded by a dense hedge restricting access to the greater garden.

The restoration was accomplished by opening up a path at the rear, smartening it up and realigning the misshapen beds and finally adding garden lighting to make a very attractive garden for year round interest.
