Contemporary Garden Design in London 

This classical, contemporary, small London garden design was developed in 2024, with a carefully curated planting scheme installed in late autumn.

 

This bespoke garden design in London is thoughtfully arranged over three levels, featuring dedicated spaces for entertaining, relaxing in the lounge area, and enjoying a peaceful morning coffee.

We were tasked with developing a planting scheme focused on evergreen planting and white flower species. 

 

The patios use Egyptian Beige Pavers and Florence White Porcelain. The planting borders use Scottish pebbles to draw the garden down and help soften the space.

Ilex Crenata, commonly known as Japanese holly, is a small to medium-sized evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves and inconspicuous white flowers in spring, with small black berries later in the year.

Olive Tree

Olive trees are incredibly resistant, especially in sheltered London gardens with milder conditions. These beautiful trees thrive in large feature pots or well-drained soil and benefit from full sunlight. The leaves are aromatic, with delicate yellow flowers in the summer, and if you are really lucky, black olives will appear in late summer or early autumn.
