Surrey pool garden

Redesign of a large family garden in surrey 

Pool garden

Soft, naturalistic planting surrounds the pool.

The brief for this garden design was to add colour and seasonal interest while dividing up the garden to provide different functional areas. 

The large planting beds surrounding the new pool help to settle it into the garden while providing swimmers with a sense of enclosure. The planting is designed to be drought tolerant and pollinator friendly and buzzes with life.

The winding paths through the grass borders offer different routes through the garden and the prospect of discoveries.

The traditional greenhouse provides a focal point for the garden when viewed from the house and anchors the vegetable and cut flower garden into the design.

At the end of the garden a large lawn for family games is surrounded by large shady borders, a wildlife area with a pond and an area of wildflower meadow.
