A Town Garden

Finchampstead

Help to turn a tricky spot into an enjoyable garden

A large pine tree dominates the site and prevents the establishment of the lawn.

Less is more. The tree is removed and a strong geometric shape used to open up the garden and create the feeling of space.

The transformation is complete. With the planting matured the garden becomes a welcoming environment again.

A neglected corner is changed into a garden border.

A tree suitable for the site is added to give a strong vertical element. The tree is underplanted with plants that will fill out beneath.

The boundary fence is disguised and the planting fills the border.
