London House

Restoration Outside

This small but perfectly formed project in London is an example of restoration & design. The original garden features of this beautiful Victorian house are long gone and the owners wanted to take the house back to its former glory.

Following extensive research on period design details used in this part of London, a new scheme was developed to include: reproduction black & white tiled path, cobble stones, formal planting beds and reproduction iron railings & gates.

Design development | Layout

Sensitive restoration of the tiled footpath to the front door. Reinstating formal planting beds surrounded by a cobble sett border & path. Addition of reproduction period iron railings & pedestrian gates.

This garden was completed in July 2025.

“It was a pleasure to partner with Mark on this project. His design was thoughtful, elegant and in-keeping with the Victorian period of the house. His attention to detail was exceptional and he was very collaborative with our team throughout the build. The clients are very happy with the garden and We look forward to working with Mark again on future projects.”
