greencube finally finishes courtyard garden for new property in Caterham Me and Harriet finished painting the walls in this garden last week, Gemma visited on Monday to carry out maintenance and I returned Wednesday evening to take some photos. Team effort. Our client is absolutely delighted with her new garden, we have played with scale and placed large oversized pots planted up with architectural leaves of Fatsia japonica, mixed with tree ferns (Dicksonia antartica) with a focal point feature evergreen tree Eriobotrya japonica The Fireplace is a rendered polymer with granite hearth and bio ethanol feature fire bowl. A great reward to our very busy week: visiting new clients in Aylesford, Sevenoaks, Eynsford and Caterham presentation of a new design in reigate survey carried out at Wildernesse Golf Club visited existing gardens under construction in Sevenoaks and Beckenham out to tender on a new garden in Sevenoaks two small garden designs completed this week in Reigate...

We shared our blog link with  CED  (stone suppliers)  last month to show them their products that we specified in our clients mews house, in chislehurst. A  courtyard garden, recently completed. the products include: large boulders and skinny strips of sawn and sandblasted planking. CED then used one of greencube's images for their monthly advert in the Garden Design Journal. see advert September's Issue of Garden Design Journal

We've just finished this garden (June 2013), so it needs to bed in a little and the feature plants need to grow and soften the hardscapes, but we are really pleased with the results so far. Our clients live in a Mews House in Chislehurst, their garden was filled with builders leftover block pavers, soulless and uninviting when I first arrived to pick up the initial brief. It now looks like this! This small courtyard garden now has two deck terraces (millboard eco decking) divided by sandstone planking from CED blended with boulders and pebbles of various sizes. The trellis panels have been made on site using western red cedar. Material selection is so important, combining the right materials that blend together or contrast in colour and texture, keeping within the context of the house and setting are key points to achieving a successful garden. We worked closely with the landscaper on this one to ensure all the finer details were delivered in this very small spa...

We've been busy working on some large projects recently, two gardens in conservation areas that required planning approval. We are also very excited about getting the go ahead on a modern design for a new build property in Tunbridge Wells, a kit house from Germany which is being delivered on several lorries in kit form. Uber modern and very exciting. We have also been busy with some smaller gardens including this little courtyard in Chislehurst. A garden on a low budget, but will turn out being a little green oasis, tranquil and a great sanctuary for it's owners.
