Our Portfolio

Horatio’s Garden

In collaboration with the Horatio’s Garden charity, we were honoured to create a sanctuary garden at Oswestry Hospital. Designed as a safe space for staff and patients, we incorporated accessible raised beds and a carefully considered planting scheme to add colour and texture.

Terraced Retreat

Our client had an extensive brief; they wanted to create specific areas for entertaining, while retaining a cottage garden feel that included planting to attract bees and space for growing fruit and vegetables.

Centre Court

Our client wanted to completely transform their existing space by incorporating a tennis court, additional seating areas, flowerbeds and a neat lawn, all linked by winding gravel paths.

Pond Restoration

This project focused on restoring a neglected pond area into a more usable space. Excess sediment was removed, the weir was restored and raised jetties and seating were added to give the area a new lease of life.

Sunken Garden

We were tasked with transforming an unused swimming pool into a stylish sunken garden. We achieved this by constructing a new Millboard seating area under the existing pavilion, incorporating water features and colourful plants, and creating a series of linking, accessible paths.

Farmhouse Gardens

Our team was challenged to redesign this large domestic garden. We created a circular sunken garden, a parterre, a wildlife pond, a kitchen garden and a wildflower meadow, all connected by a series of pathways. The transformation was so impressive that it earned us a BALI Award.

Terraced Contemporary Garden

The client wanted a family-friendly garden with plenty of space for socialising. We installed a fire pit, water feature wall and an outdoor kitchen area, constructed an upper and lower terrace and shaped a large open lawn, complete with planting.

Hillside Terrace

We were asked to create a more social space and maximise light in this North-facing garden. We achieved this by extending the lower terrace area into the existing lawn, constructing a cascading water feature and installing a fire pit area with strategic lighting.

The Well Garden, Wollerton Old Hall

In early 2024, Butler Landscapes were commissioned to construct the newly re-designed Well Garden at Wollerton Old Hall Garden, one of Britain’s most admired private gardens. The re-design was led by Lesley Jenkins in collaboration with Phil Smith (Pip Smith Designs). Their vision retained the garden’s iconic tall yew pyramids, linking visually to the Yew Walk, while introducing a fresh planting palette in shades of green, white, and blue. The re-designed Well Garden was officially opened on 19 April 2024, just before Easter, and was hailed by Financial Times garden writer Robin Lane Fox as a “masterpiece.”

The RSPCA Garden – From Chelsea to Stapeley Grange

In 2023, Butler Landscapes were honoured to be chosen as the contractors to rebuild the RSPCA Garden at Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich, following its success at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Rear Garden Transformation

In early 2023, Butler Landscapes were commissioned to re-design and build a complete transformation of a tired and overcrowded rear garden in Shropshire. The clients wanted a family garden design that provided more usable space, greater privacy, and planting that would offer seasonal colour and structure throughout the year.

Country Retreat

The clients approached Butler Landscapes to create a complete country garden design that would improve usability, provide privacy, and transform the space into a garden for entertaining, relaxation, and year-round enjoyment.
