Longdown, Guildford, Surrey

Alongside the restoration of a period house LDC in conjunction with Bradford-Smith Landscape Architects was charged with restoring a terraced garden with a new planting scheme and design layout. Installing a subtle palette of colours for seasonal interest the garden has been reinvigorated including the transformation of the existing pond into a chic reflective pool, the navigation of the terraces via a grand staircase using reclaimed yorkstone, a yorkstone patio area accessed from the house and a vegetable garden.

The end result is a private space that beautifully frames the views over the north downs.
