A formal town courtyard:    
 
A secluded space for entertaining.

An informal town garden:    
 
A microcosm of a rural retreat.

A landscape garden:    
     
A wildlife pond in place of the previous damp patch, with associated plants and beyond, a paved terrace.
A bank too steep to climb rises from an expanse of lawn. The bank has been graded to create ascending levels and gentle steps, with a summerhouse to enjoy the evening sun and swathes of plants.

An exposed garden:    
Recently a field, this garden has wonderful views but is exposed to the prevailing southwesterly winds. Plants which bend with the wind and effortlessly link with the open grassland beyond the boundaries, creating a full, soft effect, alive with wildlife.

A suburban garden:
 
A very steep bank rises behind the house. The change in levels has been utilised to create a generously proportioned circular terrace, with a formal raised pool and steps to the upper lawn.
