The transformation
Having worked successfully with Acres Wild over many years, The Garden Company was delighted to be entrusted with the build of this prestigious project. Working closely with Debbie and Ian, they applied their craftmanship and attention to detail to construct a beautiful space on the south side of the house. This comprised of: a broad, paved terrace, framed in herbaceous planting and a large lawn, separated from the pasture beyond by a gently curving modern ha-ha. The whole view is framed in a thick woodland edge, creating a sense of rest and privacy. A large, rectangular pool provides a contemporary touch.
Herbaceous planting of flat-headed Sedums, swathes of Nepeta and Perovskia atriplicifolia frames the pool and looks especially graceful. Back at the entrance, there is a new meadow on a grand scale. Planted from seed, it promises an abundance of wildflowers and grasses in the years to come.
The clients were so delighted with the close collaboration between Acres Wild and The Garden Company that they were invited to work together again on a further development project (The Japanese Garden).
