Classic English Charm in Headington
The client for this Headington property wished to create a classic, romantic English garden that felt both timeless and full of life. They envisioned a space with soft, flowing lines that would invite exploration, leading the eye on a journey through different textures and curated planting areas, with a central patio as the calm heart of the garden.
The finished garden is a space rich in texture, character, and classic charm. The combination of the elegant limestone patio, the gentle crunch of the gravel path, and the thoughtfully curated planting scheme creates a multi-layered experience. It is now a garden of discovery, inviting a peaceful stroll and offering a perfect sanctuary that feels as if it has been part of the home for generations.
Our Solution
Our design began with the centrepiece: a beautiful circular patio crafted from Abbey Limestone. This classic stone was chosen for its soft, traditional tones and textured surface, providing the perfect stage for outdoor dining.
From this central hub, we created a charming self-binding gravel path that meanders gracefully through the garden, creating a gentle, organic flow. To add a crisp, defined finish, the path was edged with a traditional block paving border.
The structure of the garden was further enhanced with rustic oak sleepers, used to create defined planting beds. The garden planting itself was a collaborative process with the client, resulting in a bespoke plant design filled with perennials and shrubs that provide year-round interest and bring the entire garden to life.
