Terraced Garden - Sevenoaks

Design Brief

As planting specialists we are often asked to plant up a scheme where the groundwork has already been constructed and with this garden in Sevenoaks, we brought our plant knowledge to a range of different areas, from shady, woodland space undernetah big trees, to sunny terraces which required a wealth of colour and texture to carry the display through the seasons.

We always have to bear in mind the maintenance levels which the garden will benefit from at a later date but when a client also has a passion for plants, the planting scheme can be allowed to excel in every part of the garden.

Here is how the garden looked before we began...

This is how it all looked once we were finished...

  • Stonework terraces full with lush planting

  • A modern water feature cascades down into the wide pool below

  • Creative planting mixes a variety of species, textures and colours for a glorious display through the year

  • Lush, woodland planting compliments the children's play house

  • Mutliple levels of stonework terraces are home to a wide range of plant species for year round colour

  • The view back towards the house

  • An upper lawn provides a safe play area for children
