Oxford Town Garden
This design is for large detached house in Oxford. The front garden is going to be a striking space with drama and structure from a variety of large evergreen forms. Three elegant Juniperus Skyrocket trees will provide a vertical contrast to the cloud pruned Ilex Crenata tree, and at ground level the geometric shapes of the Buxus hedge will contrast with softer Hydrangea Annabelle, Calamagrostis Overdam and Verbena bonariensis Lollipop.
Three mature Standard Eleagnus Ebbingei trees with their sweet smelling winter flowers underplanted with scented perennials will provide fragrance throughout the year.
The paving will be grey slate edged with granite setts to go with the house's newly painted window frames, and the grey rendered front wall.

The large back garden will again have strong contrasts of form with a pleached Tilia hedge diving the lawn and herbaceous borders from the vegetable garden, office, deck seating corner and utility space. The lawn surrounding the trampoline will be left uncut in the summer and planted with Ox-eye daisies, poppies, corn cockle etc, to create a sea of meadow flowers.
