Designing front gardens is always an exciting challenge — they’re the first thing people see and set the tone for the entire property. For this project in Pontefract, my clients wanted their front garden to be more than just a space for kerb appeal. They envisioned a peaceful seating area with privacy, surrounded by planting and a natural feel that complements the home. Creating a Private and Functional Front Garden When I began designing this West Yorkshire garden, I wanted

When designing gardens across Yorkshire, I’m often asked about different surface finishes for paths, patios, and driveways. One option I recommend when it suits the property is self-bound gravel.

In this post, I’ll share the pros and cons of self-bound gravel to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your garden. What is Self-Bound Grave

The paving doesn’t just form a patio or a path — it sets the tone for the whole space, tying together the house, planting, and outdoor features. Indian sandstone is one of the most popular paving options I’m asked about. It’s natural, beautiful, and versatile — but I only recommend it if it suits the style of the property and complements the overall design. In some settings it
