Private Residence in YORKSHIRE
The client’s brief for the garden of this impressive new-build property was to create a striking formal garden with a strong axis and layout, giving an amazing outlook from the house with colour and year-round interest and taking full advantage of the wonderful countryside views beyond. The property is located on a narrow country lane, which necessitated all landscaping materials for the rear garden, including aggregates, soil, turf, porcelain paving, steels and plant stock, to be craned over the house whilst it was still under construction. The front garden and driveway make an impressive entrance to the property. To the rear, steps lead from the main terrace of the house down to an extensive formal lawn, which is bordered by box, yew and Portuguese laurel hedging with boxed hornbeams bordering the paths on either side.
A contemporary steel pergola provides a partially shaded seating area halfway down and to one side of the lawn, beyond which is a secret garden. At the end of the garden, formal beds planted with alliums provide a stunning setting for the central sunken walled patio containing a David Harber ‘Filium’ sculpture. Finally, four fastigiate oaks frame the countryside beyond. Beautiful lighting brings the garden to life at night, highlighting the trees and the sculpture.
