Garden Design in Cobham

What is Cobham known for?

Cobham is steeped in history, with buildings, manor houses and inns in the town dating back as far as the 15th century. The area, close to Chelsea FC’s training ground and home to a large number of footballers and other public figures seeking privacy as well as proximity to the lure and nightlife opportunities of London, has a variety of housing styles, including terraced cottages.

But it is most renowned for large houses in semi-rural settings, often as part of semi-private and private estates. These large properties offer significant opportunities for multiple uses on the extensive land often found to the front as well as rear. This might mean creating timber car ports to shelter as well as display extensive car collections outside of a garage or creating intricate yet expansive paved areas on which to park them.

‘Privacy is often paramount…’

How do we tailor our approach?

Privacy is often paramount, especially for those with a public profile, and so landscaping rear gardens in ways that can create tranquil and peaceful surroundings for outdoor seating and dining to relax and entertain with family and friends, as well as for more active pursuits, can be key considerations when planning garden design in Cobham projects.

The River Mole runs near Cobham, shaping the landscape as well as contributing to a fertile environment in floodplain areas and providing inspiration for nearby properties wanting to extend its peaceful dynamic into their own design.

The town is also surrounded by woodlands, including parts of the historic Painshill Park whose manicured gardens created as a living painting in the 18th century feature ornamental trees, shrubs and plants in careful designs that can offer huge amounts of local inspiration for anyone planning a garden design in Surrey transformation.
