A Garden for Entertaining

If you like to entertain, you want your outdoor space to be a showcase to wow your guests, while reflecting your own personal style.

This courtyard garden was designed specifically to hold impressive garden parties. On arriving, guests are led through a route of paved areas, offering plenty of areas for socialising and raised bed seating. The formal, simple planting arrangements and ambient lighting create an atmosphere that is attractive, modern and welcoming.

“We are delighted to recommend Cathy, for her design flair and her patience. She worked with us, so we felt very much part of the process. She also didn’t seem to mind us changing our minds and worked well with our builders. We’re delighted with our courtyard garden and can’t wait for the Spring to see the next stage of development”.
