The main features of this garden were garden landscaping makeover featuring a retaining wall with rendered finish and paving featuring inlaid pebbles to give an attractive finish to this country garden on the outskirts of Harrogate.

Following design plans by garden designer Maxine Nelson, this garden in Ilkley, West Yorkshire was transformed from a tired, neglected area that was barely used to an elegant formal garden with clean lines and contemporary water feature.

The main elements of construction involved substantial excavation of the site followed by a large landscape gardening project involving the creation of formal terracing using natural stone, paving and the instalation of a rill water feature to run through the garden to a sculpture focal point.

Here are some before, during and after shots:

This garden was a scene of destruction when we first visited it, as a major building project was undertaken on what was a virtually derelict building. Set in the heart of Harrogate, close to Stray there was huge potential to create a fabulous home and garden.

Following design plans by David Smith of Trillium Gardens, the garden was completely re-landscaped, transforming it from a building site to a relaxing haven.

Set back on one of Knaresborough's steep hills, this garden required substantial excavation. Retaining walls were put in place and given a rendered coat finish for a contemporary look, a fence using deluxe fencing panels was fixed to the top of the walls surrounding the garden. The garden itself featured a mix of Indian sandstone paving, decking and an edged lawn, adding interest to a relatively small space.

When the landscape gardening in knaresborough was complete it created a very nice courtyard garden which could be used as an entertaining area.
