This ½-acre family garden in Whetstone North London is peerless in sheer size, privacy and a naturalistic design with solely native plant species, supporting fauna and flora. Our photos were taken 1 year after completion.
When our clients asked us in 2018 to redesign their landscape garden, their 2,000-sqm outdoor space was overgrown, unusable, neglected and dominated by a dilapidated tennis court. We designed a naturalistic garden, using only reclaimed materials and native plants, creating it over 3 months in the UK’s hottest ever summer.
Renovations included a new patio with steps and retaining walls outside the house, site gradation, a curved natural stone wall, a basketball court, sunken trampoline, fire pit and a crescent shaped wood deck.
Planting is largely native, with some naturalised species, where we planted Anemone, Armeria, Bellflower, Bugle, Dogwood, ferns, Field maple, Foxglove, Galium, Geranium, grasses, Guelder rose, Hazelnut, Hemp agrimony, Iris, Lily of the valley, Meadowsweet, Pasque flower, Primula, Purple Loosestrife, Rowan, Sea kale, Silver birch, Spindle rushes, Willow, Yarrow & Walnut.
The curved deck focuses the site, pivoted at bottom left at the foot of an existing Ash tree, providing wide views of the whole site, shaded by a native Willow tree in the corner. Within the curve, we built a stone fire pit, where the two elements interact in shape.
Ornamental grasses include Luzula, Briza, Calamagrostis epigejos, Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster', Deschampsia cespitosa, Deschampsia flexuosa & Stipa calamagrostis. We created crevice pockets in the stone wall, planting shade plants such as native ferns, Bugle & bellflowers.
In a site already containing native species such as Hawthorn, Holly, Hazelnut , Ivy, Oak & Ash, continuing this palette was simply a no-brainer. The new amenities please every family member, including 2 young children, a teenager, dogs & cats. Trampoline bouncing, football on the grass, basketball tournaments and huddling by the firepit flames, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, and most importantly, plenty of biodiversity for wildlife.
