We entered Maltese Road a beautiful garden in Chelmsford where we were really able to push the boundaries, and the end result looked spectacular! Our client Paul Edwards came to Aralia with the vision of a calm, tranquil space, which had a sense of seclusion where he can relax whilst surrounded by lush planting. It had to be in keeping with his Victorian home, and had to feel light and airy and in no way claustrophobic. With not the largest of gardens to work with, and so many fabulous ideas to include, it wasn’t plain sailing! The site itself was so tight that design elements had to be built bespoke as standard items would not work in the space available. We Included bespoke items such as pergolas, a curved archway, a semi-circular slate & granite bench, and an impressive 20 panel Ornamental Green Wall disguising what would have been the back of an unsightly garage wall. Careful layering of plants helped us achieve a spacious and tranquil feel. The result is a unique, compact garden with a deceptively spacious feel and one that met every demand from our exacting client. We are simply thrilled to have won this award – what a fantastic end to 2010!!
