Centre Court
Brief
Nestled in the Cheshire countryside, this garden required some care and attention. The client wanted to use their garden for leisure purposes by having a tennis court, seating area and additional planting areas, with good access links to the house and surrounding garden. Our aim was to transform the field into a garden that the client can enjoy with friends and family for years to come.
Design & Build
Designing this area was an exciting prospect for our team. Utilising the existing landform, the design creates level changes with retaining brick walls. This adds form and structure to the garden, with planting softening the transitions between areas in the garden. Meandering gravel pathways set amongst planting beds leads the user to the tennis court and connect other areas of the garden effectively.
Outcome
Through a careful selection of materials this garden creates a series of spaces for friends and family to enjoy while complementing the existing character of the period property. The choice of materials blends perfectly with the house and links well with the surrounding landscape elements through areas of planting. Retaining walls softened with planting provide enclosure for the tennis court, and new paving areas are interconnected with meandering gravel pathways, offering a pleasant journey through the colours and textures of the planting. A large lawn area offers opportunities for leisure and relaxation, framed by an ornamental planting scheme.
