Country House Border Design
Oxted, Surrey
Our brief was to revitalise three areas within a Surrey country garden, home to young children and a hungry rabbit and deer population.
Our planting design strategy introduced a renewed sense of structure and character through careful plant selection, complementing the architecture of the house and blending seamlessly with the expansive, mature grounds surrounding the property.
The entrance borders and planting around the perimeter of the house offer year-round structure alongside seasonal floral highlights of deer and rabbit resistant planting. Elsewhere, a palette of perennials, grasses and bulbs bring cohesion to a formal lawn border which previously contained a mix of young shrubs. Finally, two sloping woodland borders leading up from a parking area were overhauled, with trees and understorey renovated to make way for a new scheme of soft woodland-edge planting including ferns, grasses, winter and spring-flowering bulbs.
In addition to the planting design for this scheme, we sourced and planted all plants.
