This Georgian house, near Tarporley in Cheshire was being rebuilt and its six acres of derelict farmland required landscaping.  Very few elements of the garden could be retained.  This photograph shows the scheme before work started;  acres of rough field grass and a few fruit trees; (unsafe) brick walling and an arch were dismantled and rebuilt.

A level lawn area was planned, together with large naturalistic water feature on two levels, an elegant driveway and a herbaceous border area at the back.  We were given very free reign in order to create lots of interesting planting both in terms of background, sculptural shrubs and extra underplanting for colour throughout the seasons.  The beds themselves were positioned to create focal points to tease the vision and create interest and atmosphere.
