FEATURED PROJECTS
TREFOIL ROAD, SW18
This was a sweet little rose garden but unfortunately due to its poor use of space, served of no use to the family with two young children. My clients felt obliged to hand over the space to the children but were equally desperate for some pretty play-resistant planting for themselves.
The approach here was to use the small space to create something for everyone but to go fairly dramatic to add impact where it mattered.
We created a modern and stylish garden with beautifully planted raised Design Clad beds at varying heights and interconnecting geometry to add interest.

A feature cedar bench floats from the structure and ties in with cedar slatting to the rear wall creating a wrap around to the entire boundary, closely matching the existing fences which had to remain in situ. Small flower beds to the side, just to edge the scheme, allow the children maximum play area of artificial grass for year round use.
Structured evergreen balls provide rhythm and repetition softened with an abundance of colourful perennials that thrive in the mixed aspect of sun and shade. The wall to the left has been painted to link to the interior of the house and existing terrace, and recesses 3 stripped stem potted bamboos maximizing on vertical planting opportunity.
TESTIMONIAL
I cannot recommend Tris highly enough. She understood our brief immediately and was a pleasure to work with. Tris is professional, diligent and very inspirational!
We have a small size garden and we wanted to be able to utilise it both as a space that works for adults, but also one which our two children can use on a daily basis. We were truly amazed at Tris’ design and she was able to incorporate the needs of all members of the family in a seamless way, and ones that we had never considered to be an option.
The end result is a beautiful space which works for our entire family in a relatively compact footprint. We have hugely admired Tris’ planting plan which has given us beautiful beds that require very little maintenance.
We have all already derived so much joy from it in the few weeks it has been finished!
