Screen Pergola Photo |
| I designed this pergola as a screen, to give privacy from the building behind and to divide the practical and aesthetic areas of the garden. The Eucalyptus Trees are eventually to be trained into espaliers, acting as a silver back drop to the red and pink roses. |

Drawn Design |
This was a design I completed to transform a small back yard into a relaxing cottage garden. A Rose covered pergola, offers a shady seating area for hot days, whilst still leaving open patio space for sunbathing. A small Cherry tree matches the height of the pergola at the end of the garden, both screening out the bordering property. The planting scheme is basically traditional, but I have designed it to give colour and interest throughout the year, with both decorative leaves and flowers. |

‘Cottage Garden’ style border. |
| This was originally a shrub border with a rabbit problem preventing herbaceous plants from surviving. A rabbit proof fence set back from the edge of the border, soon became invisible in the foliage. Less palatable plants were sited outside the fence, with a wonderful, colourful mixture of Roses, Bulbs and traditional cottage garden plants thriving within the protected area. Several specimen trees and shrubs were retained, at the client’s request, which give height and interest. |

Garden Redesign and Decking Pergola in Brighton |
Originally, this was a dark, gloomy garden, surrounded by towering Leylandii and gloomy shrubs. The trees were all removed and I redesigned the borders to create a bright, open, colourful garden. The decked pergola makes an attractive focal point and catches the sun all day. I have planted it with white and yellow Roses, Clematis and Honeysuckle, according to the clients wish for a fragrant outdoor dining room. |
