Our primary objective was creating a sense of width to this narrow garden of a new-build townhouse in Esher, close to the London-Surrey border. We achieved this through a design that incorporated zig-zag resin paths and used contemporary materials to add plenty of interest to the space. An informal seating area with fire table added a practical, and elegant, flourish, while small ornamental trees offered screening. Stipa and calamagrostis grasses and bushy, flowering perennials such as gaura added structure.
