great missenden garden
This substantial 1970's house in Great Missenden had undergone major structural refurbishment and updating. The front garden was dominated by some very mature shrubs that were not in keeping with the crisp, clean lines of the high spec interior.

Client Brief
Introduce clean simple lines to compliment the stunning house. To remove the mature shrub area and open up the front garden. The area was not level and rain water collected in large puddles near the adjoining pavement. Surface drainage has been improved using Aqua cells. Resolve the level changes by blending the natural slope down to the pathway, reshape the flower beds to create interest and returf to match existing lawn. Yew hedging was planted along the boundary line of the pathway to give a backdrop to the purple and lime herbaceous planting scheme. Modern planters have been used to dress the front door area.
