Here are some of my favourite garden design and planting projects we've undertaken at the Distinctive Gardener. With a wide range of budgets and solutions for gardens big and small (even tiny!), here is what you can do with both classic and contemporary garden design to create the garden of your dreams
Large Family Garden with Outdoor Kitchen Unit and Garden Room
We transform a family garden into the perfect outdoor cooking, dining and entertaining space, complete with outdoor kitchen and garden room
Contemporary City Garden
A compact city garden gets a contemporary design to match the house with this stylish, low-maintenance garden with a Mediterranean twist.
Family Garden with Terrace, Lawn and Secluded Seating Area
A family garden is redesigned with fabulous entertaining terrace, wide lawn and a secret seating area, surrounded by verdant plant borders and floral interest
Family Garden with Cottage Garden Planting and Large Dining Terrace
A west London back garden receives a cottage-style design with relaxed planted borders and a large entertainment terrace that ties in the new garden room.
Rear Garden with Large Terrace and Generous Borders
A family garden gets a makeover with a large patio terrace and lawn space, surrounded by deep borders to provide year-round floral interest
Small Family Garden
We transformed this modest London garden into a multi-functional space adaptable for a growing family - and their pets!
Stylish Front Garden with Off Street Parking
We update this modest front garden with nature-friendly borders and a wide paving area, leaving ample space for the car on the new eco-resin driveway.
Long Narrow Contemporary Garden
This long suburban garden with summerhouse gets transformed into a contemporary relaxation and entertainment space filled with classical features
Hidden Garden Oasis in West London
A tour of my personal west London garden, an Ealing in Bloom double award-winner. Among the features are a natural pond, a secluded snug with fire pit and a flower-filled parterre garden. Find out the charming story behind this enchanting space in the My Garden section.
Large City Garden
This large contemporary garden in west London was transformed with a majestic pergola centrepiece in order to create an entertaining and relaxing space for all the family that flows seamlessly from the house.
Magical Courtyard Garden
This compact courtyard London garden was transformed into a magical, evergreen space with a central pergola that seamlessly incorporates the clients' home office cabin.
North Facing London Garden
This small, north-facing garden was transformed into something stylish and low-maintenance with a unique circular lawn of artificial grass, plus plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.
Eco Friendly Front Garden with Parking
We transform this west London front garden into a practical and eco-friendly entrance to the home, complete with driveway and attractive bike storage.
East Facing Front Garden
The brief was to create a garden that would reflect the classic and contemporary interior design of the owner's wonderful home. A contemporary shaped path takes the visitor on a journey past two rectangular beds that are planted for year-round interest.
Compact London Courtyard Garden
This modern and contemporary London garden really maximises the space using large, slate coloured block paving that really shows the evergreen borders off to their best. The use of vibrant colour really draws the eye in to create a relaxing, modern space for entertaining.
A Garden of Curves and Circles
This front garden was designed with a theme of circles and curves, which were reflected in both the landscaping and the planting. The large curved main path takes the visitor on a journey past beds planted with evergreen colour and structure.
