Private Garden, Bayford, Hertfordshire

We were excited to be offered a soft landscaping job by Sharp Architects at the end of 2018. This project involved a Grade II Listed Georgian Country House in Hertfordshire, around which, terracing looks down onto their grounds and lake below. During a complete renovation of the 19-acre grounds, Lyndon implemented complex and abstract landscaping, involving over 130 species of plants.

​

Our scope was to prepare the beds for planting - this included breaking up soil to 300ml, filling with loam, incorporating sharp sand and pea gravel and mulching once planted. The plan then included planting up pleached hornbeams, constructing a fruit-cage, corten steel terracing, planting mature shrubs and trees and anchoring them down to make them rabbit and deer proof. 

​

The project had to be carried out with intricacy where each of the plants, including bushes, shrubs and wall climbers had a specifically intentioned position designed to compliment both the historic and modernised features of the property. It was completed in May 2019.
