Client's Brief

Location
Halstead, Essex

This new build property garden laid to lawn had a brick garage wall which dominated the space. The client required a modern garden to match the house interior, structural planting, a dining area, an additional seating area, plus a focal point in the angled corner of the space.

The finished garden was featured in Modern Gardens Magazine in June 2025.

The key to this design was down to different textures creating a rhythm through the garden. The garden boundary was covered with larch battening and a feature wall of yew. The garage side wall was clad with a textured tile which then matched with the angled corner brick wall cladding. A bespoke blade water feature in this corner draws the eye and the design is finished with a lush green lawn and structural planting.

 

Client’s Review – From inception through to completion, Jon has transformed our lifeless garden into now a showpiece. Jon’s professionalism, user friendly and personable approach made the whole experience a joy. He took us carefully through every step of the design process. Nothing was to much trouble. Our expectation’s were not met, but exceeded. Thank you Jon, its been a pleasure.
