Here&#8217;s one of this year&#8217;s gardens.  A modern and minimalist entertaining space to complement a fantastic conversion of a welsh farmhouse.

We transformed this small garden in Roath, Cardiff into a modern and contemporary entertaining space.  By removing the old garage that wasn&#8217;t really used we increased the overall space by more than a third allowing two  separate areas &#8211; dining and cooking, as well as lush specimen planting.
Contrasting materials including sawn sandstone [...]]]></description>

This is a steeply sloping, wide but shallow front garden that we planted last year.  Originally turfed and a nightmare to maintain it was a typical new build garden.  Poor soil and grass that was struggling.  We renewed the soil and stripped off the turf.  Then we used new FSC timber sleepers to create mini-tiers.  [...]]]></description>

Our client gets a lot of rabbits in their garden but was keen to grow their own fruit, vegetables and flowers for arranging.  We built them this large enclosure and planted the fruit last year.  Lots of species including summer and autumn raspberries, red, green and yellow gooseberries, red, white and blackcurrants, blueberries and [...]]]></description>

One of our favourite plants for difficult shady spots is Brunnera macrophylla &#8216;Jack Frost&#8217;.  It works particularly well at the base of hedges or trees where the foliage really stands out.  Grown for its foliage that appears in the early spring and stays until the winter sets in.  In the spring dainty blue forget-me-not [...]]]></description>

Another new design added to the website.  This one is a Newport garden that was originally two levels, unfortunately the upper level was over 3 metres higher than the patio.  The design maximised the upper level creating over 100 square metres of level lawn.  The lower patio design featured a sweeping set of steps and [...]]]></description>

One of our favourite spring perennials is Dicentra spectabilis commonly known as Bleeding Heart.  It thrives in a semi shady spot but can thrive in full sun as long as the soil stays moist.  It can work well either front or mid border.  The unusual flowers stand out in the garden and stay around during [...]]]></description>
