Designing new spaces in a mature 7 acre garden brings it’s challenges as well as lots of creative opportunities. How those spaces interact with each other provides the flow and sense of place and is the key to getting the design right. On this project formal geometry and planting frame the house and link the pool and entertainment room through a series of paths framing a formal lawn. The wider landscape is more relaxed with a parkland aesthetic containing a large pond and lime walk. Wilder areas with longer length grass and mown paths would increase biodiversity and reduce ongoing maintenance. An example of a designer gently nudging the boundaries 🍏 @deepdaletrees @majestictrees1 @griffinnurseries @northhillnurseries @_londonstone #gardendesignerhampshire #gardendesignerberkshire #gardendesign #largegardendesigns #outdoorentertaining #gardenpools #plantingdesign #bramleyapplegardendesign
A wet and muddy December 2020 to May 2022 and now the garden is taking shape and the design is being realised. A beautiful, formal garden and driveway framing the Grade II listed gentleman’s mansion. The water fountain provides the centre point for the circular drive, defined by formal lawns, clipped hedges and box pleached Carpinus. A gentle planting palette of whites, greens, pale pinks and dark purple soften the hardscape and compliment the house render. @deepdaletrees @majestictrees1 @griffinnurseries @northhillnurseries @haddonstone_ltd #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #frontgardedesign #grandentrances #pleachedtrees #gardenwaterfeatures #gardendesignerhampshire #gardendesignerberkshire #bramleyapplegardendesign
A large walled garden extending from the kitchen that provides a convenient place to dine and chill as well as an enclosed space for the family’s two large dogs to be let out. As such the priority was practicality, hence the resin gravelled surface, however the garden still needed to provide a pleasant place to sit and views from the kitchen all year round. The planting scheme incorporates topiary for structure and screening, evergreens, blossom, herbs and herbaceous to create year round colour and interest.

A hike up a very large hill through a redwood forest. The trees have been previously burnt but are still growing strong. This one provided a shady resting spot! #giantredwoods #bigsur #bramleyapplegardendesign
A family friend’s garden we visited embracing the site conditions and bucking the trend for green lawns. And a rather fabulously painted cow! #gravelgardens #californiangardens #drygardens #bramleyapplegardendesign
What our customers say
After five years, our garden is maturing into a wonderful space which is used daily and has given us such lasting pleasure. We couldn't have wished for a better design!
Sarah really understood the challenges we were trying to solve with the garden. She has a wealth of knowledge on plant types for colour, structure, scent and seasonal interest. Creating a scheme that has added beautiful views and value to our home.
Sarah was great. We wanted to dramatically change our front garden but did not really know how to achieve this, Sarah came up with a few designs (that were amazing). We would not have our garden now which we still love 3 years on if not for Sarah
