This Surrey Hills project is “The Melding of Eras”
This Surrey Hills project won “Landscape of the Year 2021” in several categories. The Judges’ comment was “Showing beautiful and clever use of space, this project combines traditional and modern elements to reflect the architecture”.
It captures the balance of the owner’s desire to create something that has a slightly informal present edge with the necessity to marry the style to the architecture of a Victorian era façade.
The brief was to construct a delightful garden with a modern cottage feel that created a welcoming atmosphere to match the picturesque period home but would also blend with a back modern extension. The owners of the property knew they didn’t want the typical straight path and formal hedges but still wished to meld the classic façade with a slightly more relaxed take on a formal design. For functionality the design incorporated a lawn area as the owners are parents to two dogs that love to lay in the sun.

Judges’ comments
Starting with exceptionally detailed plans and following through with complex details such as flawless crazy paving, the high standard of this garden is universally evident from the moment you enter the front gate. Exceptional workmanship is on display across every element and the degree of care shown by the team at Nature’s Best far outweighs the lack of scale, achieving a standard every landscaper should all aspire to.”
