Mature Garden Landscaping
Surrey
A mature garden updated with a path to a new studio that looks as though it has always belonged there.
The Brief
New access without losing the garden’s age and character.
The brief was to create a path through a beautiful mature garden to a new studio, while making the path and its surrounds feel settled rather than newly imposed.
Design Thinking
Hand drawn before it is built.
Every project begins by hand, with drawings that explore how the garden should move, settle and feel before anything is built. The plan considers the house, the light, the views from inside and the quiet details that make a space feel personal rather than standard.
These early sketches shape the planting, materials, levels and moments of pause. They give the team a clear design language to build from, so the finished garden feels considered from the first line on paper to the final planting.
The Project
A path with an aged character.
Chelmer Valley Cotswold Blend brick pavers were used for their brown-yellow aged finish and occasional blush tones, helping the route feel appropriate to a period garden.
Design Response
A quiet deck beside the studio.
A black Embered Millboard deck adds an outdoor sitting space by the studio, with a worn appearance inspired by the Yakisugi technique.
