Converted Stable Garden

Final Stage

It’s not uncommon for us to tackle large-scale garden makeovers in phases. While cost can be a factor, in this case, it was driven by the weather and the onset of winter. When spring arrived, it provided the perfect conditions for planting. The final touch was the self-binding gravel path that gently winds through the space, completing the design. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of bringing a project like this to fruition. We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to create art through landscape design.

Initial Phase

Phase One (October–November 2022)

Our client had recently moved into a stunning stable block development, but the garden left much to be desired. With living room windows overlooking the space, the hastily laid paving and turf were far from inspiring. Designing the garden became a top priority.

The brief was to complement the property’s character, introduce curves, and create social, contemporary elements. Our design aimed to take the viewer on a journey, offering different perspectives and destinations.

We broke up the rigid paving with staggered slabs and planted creeping thyme in the gaps to soften the edges. A new central cobbled path (using reclaimed cobbles from Manchester) led to a stone bench, framed by a cedar screen and formal ewe hedging. The contrasting curved gravel path meanders through the garden, leading to a sunken circular patio area beneath a pergola.

Phase one is complete, and the garden will come to life in spring, with the second phase adding final touches and planting.
