Hamstead Heath
A beautiful & entertaining garden
Location: London, UK
Project Type: Private Garden
Client: Private Client
Our client has a large formal garden divided into three areas: a central lawn with hedge planting, a BBQ and outdoor dining area and children’s playground. The garden looked very formal and manicured with clipped trees and hedges, but excitement and colour were missing.
We kept most of the existing healthy pleached trees and hedges as a green structure but added prairie-style naturalistic planting, a natural pond and paving materials to soften the formal look.
We added year-round interest with border plants within the grass area and along the boundaries. A modern sculpture and a multi-stem tree create a focal point and interest within the space.
The new kitchen garden includes herb and vegetable raised beds, a bar with pergola, hot tub, dining area with outdoor fireplace and kitchen units for BBQ facilities.
The children's playground includes wood play equipment and a play bark surface to create a natural woodland feel with organic lines.
