Keeping a large lawn was central to this design, as our clients wanted an outdoor space where their children could run freely. They were also yearning for a ‘real’ garden with a rich mix of colours, scents and textures. We created distinct areas, all linked by large slabs of distinctive sawn York stone, including a garden studio, a quiet corner around a fire pit to escape to and a sedum-lined walk laid at the foot of mop-topped robinias trees.
