Private Residence
Willow House
A sloping family garden reworked around a mature willow. New stepped paths, a gravel terrace and deep mixed borders connect the house to the lower lawn, with planting chosen to move in the wind and hold interest through winter.

The Transformation
Before and after.
Drag the handle to see how the space changed.
The Challenge
A steep, patchy lawn that nobody used, a tired fence line and a mature willow hidden behind overgrown grasses.
Our Response
We re-levelled the slope into two lawn terraces, opened the view to the willow and planted deep borders that move with the wind.
