Modern Country Garden, Yarm

Lots of texture included with the jucidious use of tactile and visually appealing materials such as corten steel, cedar, composite deck, driveway blocks, limestone, porcelain and many others. Strong planting throughout the garden to complement key features of a cascading water feature, outdoor kitchen with pergola, hot tub and fireplace.

Barn Conversion Garden, Co Durham

Using warm, textured materials to compliment the stone barn conversion gives a really timeless contemporary feel. A large wooden slatted sun lounger/bench seat coupled with a matching outdoor kitchen really defines zones within the garden.

Contemporary Terraced Garden, Hartlepool

Contemporary Terraced Garden Hartlepool Sam Nattress Main Pic

Contemporary Terraced Garden, Hartlepool

The garden is split over multiple levels to alleviate the height change across the garden. Rather than a straight set of terraces, the distorted geometry really adds depth and perspective to the garden. A darker palette of materials contrasts beautifully with the greens. The water feature and planting knit the garden together.

Natural Pond and Boardwalk Garden, Middleton Tyas

Natural Pond and Boardwalk Garden, Middleton Tyas

Extending an existing garden with flowing steel curves creates a walkway through the garden. Along the journey is a natural pond and rock garden with deck boardwalk over the pond. The curved patio enhances the flow. An additional deck in another corner of the garden offers views back toward the house.

Townhouse Garden, Central Durham

Townhouse Garden Durham Sam Nattress

Townhouse Garden, Central Durham

A small and compact townhouse garden overlooked by mature trees. This offers very little light so the main aim was to bring light into the garden through materials. Small details such as a patterned tiled step, timber storage benches and inset cobbles really give character to the garden.

Courtyard Garden, Heighington

Courtyard Garden, Heighington

Beautiful high brick courtyard garden with a huge elevation change. Limestone in various sizes softens the space and creates zonal areas. The planting breaks up the whole garden with feature plants. Two large handmade plant pots really define the whole garden.

Contemporary Courtyard, Middleton St George

Contemporary Courtyard, Middleton St George

A fully enclosed contemporary courtyard that is minimalist at its finest whilst having character at its core. The garden has an underlying serenity routed in Japanese gardens. A focus on light with subtle dark tones and a handful of strategically placed plants.

Large Scale Gardens, Hartburn

A well structured design, oozing with contemporary class. A limited hard landscape palette and soft planting palette separates this garden from most. Patterned porcelain paving distinguishes different useable spaces.

Formal Gardens, Newcastle

A large front and rear garden project with extensive planting design to a spectacular home. The design made the best use of the changes in level, bringing together a beautiful palette of materials that perfectly complement the house, planting scheme, and lighting.

Corbridge Contemporary Garden

Ultra low maintenance front and rear gardens yet with some structural and elegant planting. The design uses geometry to define spaces within the garden, each with a different function. The rendered raised bed offers a sunken backdrop to one sitting area.

A full garden transformation from overgrown unusable space to a balance of contemporary and retained classic features over three terraces. The garden now looks four times larger.

Coastal Garden, Whitley Bay

A vibrant, uplifting garden transformation with a coastal contemporary atmosphere. The balance of hard landscaping and soft landscaping here are essential. Plants break the lines and soften edges. A water feature, planter and steps in Corten steel add a soft metal finish.

Contemporary Garden, Darlington

Large rendered raised bed which hugs the whole garden with a sunken patio and floating timber bench to the rear. Stepping stone path leads from the decked area through the garden. What was once a new build patch of grass is now a multi functioning garden space.

Courtyard Garden, Durham

A small garden but with lots of height through planting to create dramatic effect. With a built in seat within the porcelain patio and lighting amongst the planting it has a contemporary yet informal planting feel as you walk down the garden.
