A family garden design in Reigate for professional clients who had just moved to the area. These clients had moved out from London to Reigate to get more space and were renovating a generously proportioned Edwardian property in what estate agents refer to as the Lesbourne Village area on the south side of central Reigate.
They wanted to completely refurbish front and rear gardens, giving a modern fresh look as a complete change from the old brick wall that was immediately outside the kitchen. The design solution included London stone Gea luxury porcelain paving with matching coping stones and steps, DesignClad cladding, and Millboard composite decking.
The project was completed in late 2022, so the image gallery shows immature planting in its first season in May 2023. By the second year, the plants will have filled out and covered all bare soil. The clients are already loving using their new garden, as is the new family arrival, born during the creation of the garden. It’s a great space to enjoy family life in, and will change as the client’s children grow up, with the top level already earmarked for a Millboard composite deck forming an outdoor lounge area for enjoying summer evenings at the end of a long day.
This is one of the benefots of using a professional garden designer – you can design a garden not just for your family’s needs right now, but to plan in advance how you want it to change over time, with the minimum of disruption.
