PRIVATE GARDEN BATTLEDOWN CHELTENHAM

Designer: Ann Walker

The former sunken garden of this impressive property has been completely reimagined
by Graduate Gardeners with a design that accommodates a new swimming pool and outbuildings converted into changing room facilities and a sauna.

New steps lead down into the paved pool area and directly adjacent to them is a partially sunken hot tub, which is surrounded by grey composite decking that links to the oak framework of the garden room/office.

New borders have been created around the paved areas and paths, and an extensive terrace has been created for barbecues, play and relaxation. Corten steel water features near the garden room provide a relaxing ambience.

An irrigation system has been installed to help maintain the soft planting and a lighting scheme brings the area to life at night, highlighting the existing brick boundary walls, the planted areas, the steps and hot tub decking.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS:

This beautiful scheme stands out as an exemplar of how to work within tight tolerances. The high quality workmanship and superb attention to detail is visible in all aspects of the hard landscaping. The soft planting is entirely appropriate for the space and, together with the project’s overall faultless execution, will undoubtedly be appreciated by those relaxing by the pool.”
