What we do

Sometimes gardens are just too small to have conventional lawn and flowerbeds. In a courtyard garden, paving often dominates, but the effect can still be very pleasing with careful choice of planting and some imaginative timber structures. In the main picture, the trellis and the pergola have been used to screen the stable block. When the climbers are more mature, the pergola will also provide cover for an intimate seating area.

The insert shows a more mature courtyard garden giving privacy
in what had been an exposed and overlooked plot.
