Northern Design Awards 2021

Northern Design Awards Finalist

We were invited by our clients in Chorlton, Manchester to design a sustainable garden that would complement their retro fitted passive home.

We worked collaboratively to achieve this garden, a fully functioning dry gravel garden with minimal hard landscaping.

Due to careful planting choices this garden requires no watering even in prolonged dry periods.

RHS Tatton Park Flower Show 2009
Knutsford, Cheshire

RHS Gold Medal

The garden was designed to incorporate waste materials. Gabion cages filled with wine bottles as well as broken brick and tile formed the raised beds. The fencing and bench were constructed using off cuts of timber. Incorporated into the back fence, the water feature that was copper pipe off cuts with water running down the face.

Crushed slate (a by-product from a Welsh quarry) was used for the pathways edged with upturned beer bottles. Seasonal herbaceous planting softened the clean lines of the design with birch trees to provide a feeling of enclosure in the space.

RHS Silver-Gilt Award

The garden was designed to showcase how a modern garden could be constructed as sustainably as possible.

Local stone from a Macclesfield Quarry, reclaimed bricks and FSC certified timber were used to create the structure of the garden. With a bold ‘Minimal’ planting scheme to reinforce the message.

From initial discussions to completion of the garden, the process went very smoothly. David delivered the work comfortably within time and budget. Both during planning and execution David proved flexible and a good communicator, fully discussing matters where decisions were required. The work was planned well with contractors and materials appearing on site in a timely manner. David and his workers were punctual, courteous and reliable. The materials used in the garden were of good quality and the standard of workmanship high.
