Garden designer in Amersham loves his job

Contemporary Front Garden, Chesham Bois The brief The clients loved their contemporary home but the approach lacked identity. The boundaries and overall garden shape had to remain, yet the front needed a bolder, more characterful welcome. A key request was to replace the existing wall with “not a wall”—something open, rustic, and different to the neat coping-topped boundaries up and down the street. The new scheme also needed a lighter, more refined driveway and curated planting that suits the house.

Millboard Composite Decking in Chorleywood

A Millboard composite deck in Chorleywood started as a simple decking project which became a whole garden design. Inspirational and realistic decking design leads from the property across several transition changes into a natural garden. An abundance of insect and pollinator plants, winding paths, and a circular lawn.  An exciting landscape in a relatively small garden. Cantilevered Millboard Decking For this Chorleywood-based client, the deck was the most important aspect of the garden so it had to be something special.
