Award-Winning Garden – APL Awards 2026

Designed by Chloe Wood Garden Design, this garden was completely transformed to create a generous and beautifully finished space for family life and entertaining.

New riven random Yorkstone paving is complemented by clay pavers running throughout the garden, bringing warmth, character and detail to the hard landscaping. Original dry stone walling was carefully reclaimed from the site and reused alongside new natural Cotswold stone, helping the new garden feel established and sympathetic to its surroundings.

Extensive groundworks were undertaken to reshape the existing levels and create the large formal lawn, providing a strong centrepiece to the garden. Mass planting and carefully positioned new trees soften the landscaping and bring structure, colour and interest throughout the space.

The finished garden is a fantastic place for the family to relax, entertain and enjoy together — combining traditional materials with beautiful planting and exceptional craftsmanship.

The project went on to win Best in Category at the prestigious APL Awards 2026, a fantastic recognition of the design, landscaping and attention to detail throughout.
