FEATURED PROJECTS
WANDLE ROAD, SW18
These lovely clients had just returned to London to downsize from a large country house and sprawling garden. They wanted to create a traditional space with the essence of a ‘country garden in town’ .
Starting with a very generous sized 45 degree angled patio, we created a very soft sweeping lawn area interlocking with stronger geometry at the small square pergola, adjacent to the raised brick pond, and the overhead structure to the existing his and her sheds to the rear of the garden.
Planting and height was key in this garden to create the established traditional and natural feel they were looking for and large specimens were purchased for almost instant gratification. The clients included a small collection of Acers brought from the previous home.

The clients also wanted a small space to remind them of their love of the Mediterranean. We decided to do this by utilizing a tiny unused area outside their kitchen, separate from the main garden. We had great fun sourcing and styling this new space, including the recycling of reclaimed French shutters around an external mirror to maximize light.
TESTIMONIAL
Having returned to the City after a short rural retirement, we were desperate for the comfort of a beautiful garden that was natural, soft, wildlife friendly and not over-designed.
Tris was incredible at understanding what we wanted and created a fabulous garden for us that we could have only dreamed of. She took everything on board that we loved, and aspired to, and her attention to detail was very impressive.
We love our city life again and feel we have the perfect slice of country garden in the city - in a size we can happily manage.
It totally reflects us and our style, continues to improve year on year, and has attracted an abundance of beautiful wildlife that we can enjoy.
Thank you so much for our beautiful creation. I couldn’t recommend Tris highly enough.
