Full Garden Design in Thames Ditton:
Relaxed Entertaining Garden
Client Brief and Design Approach
For this full garden redesign in Thames Ditton, Surrey, the clients had recently extended and renovated their detached family home. The garden was tired, overgrown and did not match the fresh new interior. The brief was to transform the space into a modern garden with areas for entertaining and quiet moments alike.
The house sits in a peaceful residential street in Thames Ditton. The aim was to clear out old shrubs, open up the space and introduce new life with thoughtful planting. The clients wanted a garden that felt calm and green, with planting that could cope well with dry weather.
The design goals included:
-
Several seating areas for social gatherings and peaceful retreats
-
A mix of planting with drought-tolerant choices at its core
-
Clear paths and zones that connect the house and garden smoothly
-
Subtle lighting to make the garden inviting in the evenings
OB Garden Design tackled this project by blending practical solutions with elegant design. High-quality, easy-care plants were chosen to suit the new extension and modern family life. Each seating spot, planting bed and pathway was planned to make the most of the space and bring the garden up to the standard of the beautiful home.
