I now spend most of my time designing, however, I do still love to get involved and get my hands dirty…! I couldn’t resist building this Sheffield garden for a recent client. It’s a modern, chic and relaxing garden using stunning materials. The granite patio gives a sleek and high-end look, and the dark thermo-ash (thermally treated timber) creates a gorgeous deep contrast with the lighter stone. Reclaimed bricks and roughly hewn granite copings soften the clean lines and add texture. Beautiful planting softens the feel and creates a haven for local wildlife. Go to garden portfolio.
