Marlow Town Garden

For this traditional Edwardian property, we seamlessly blended formal elements with a modern design aesthetic. Starting from a simple lawn and empty terrace, we reimagined the space by creating multiple distinct ‘rooms’ using raised beds, elegant trellises, and a stylish pergola. This thoughtful design strategy transformed the previously long and narrow garden into a dynamic space that invites exploration and discovery, enhancing both its perceived size and functionality. The new layout also provides separation and privacy from the neighbours right of way, adding a sense of enclosure and tranquillity.

Central to the design was the integration of cherished features, including an inherited water feature, existing pots, comfortable seating, and a functional BBQ area. A new, client-selected shed replaced the old one, and a portion of the lawn was maintained for Ella, the beloved family dog. The existing terrace and fencing were preserved, refreshed, and enhanced with new additions to harmonize with the overall aesthetic.

Towards the garden's rear, low-maintenance planting beds and sculptural lollipop trees soften the boundaries, adding privacy and elegance. A dedicated raised bed area, discreetly tucked behind a trellis, awaits the planting of vegetables and fruits, marrying practicality with visual appeal and creating a delightful garden retreat.
