Traditional courtyard Garden in Haslemere, Surrey by Briony Lyons Garden Design

In the picturesque town of Haslemere, this garden project takes landscaping to new heights, quite literally.

With the house elevated above the garden, this innovative design incorporates staggered dining and social areas that maximise the breathtaking views beyond.

The retaining walls seamlessly blend with the house, maintaining a timeless, traditional aesthetic. I strike a harmonious balance by using neutral paving for a clean, elegant look while adding texture and interest through the incorporation of clay pavers, defining distinct spaces and elevating the overall aesthetic.

At the rear, a sunny courtyard awaits, providing a private and intimate space to be enjoyed at any time of the day. This garden project not only enhances the beauty of the surroundings but also creates a welcoming oasis for relaxation and enjoyment

Contemporary garden in London by Briony Lyons Garden Design

Transforming this stunning London home into a lush oasis was an absolute delight. Nestled amidst the city's hustle and bustle, the house boasts expansive views of enchanting garden pockets. My goal was to seamlessly blend nature with the interior, offering a relaxing escape for our clients. The use of Corten steel raised beds and custom benches, add dimension and height, creating unique destinations within the space. Every inch was thoughtfully utilised to bring the beauty of the outdoors in, and provide a sanctuary from the urban clamor.

My Philosophy

I believe that a well-designed garden is not only a reflection of your personality and style, but also a place where you can relax, connect with nature, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

I approach each project with creativity, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the unique requirements of the space and your vision.

Initial Consultation & Brief

This is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss your needs and aspirations for your garden and to gain an understanding of your lifestyle. We can take a look at the garden whilst discussing style, material, and colour preferences, as well as considerations or limitations of the site. I can then prepare a client brief and quotation for my design work for your review.
Site Survey & Analysis

The survey is an important stage in the process as it ensures that the subsequent designs are drawn acutely for the site. A professional surveyor will be instructed to measure your garden, its boundaries, features and levels. I will subsequently come to do an analysis - recording details of the house and garden, its orientation and access, and to take reference photographs.
Design: Concept

I will produce a scale concept plan along with 3D images, focusing on layout rather than specific details. I will take you through the design and gain your feedback.
Design: Master

This is the final design package and will include a plan drawing, 3D renders and material choices.
Design Specification

Once we have agreed on the master plan, I will draft the design specification. You will receive a package which includes the setting out plan (detailing exact materials, precise measurements, and levels) and cross sections drawings [if relevant]). You can use these to get quotes from landscaping companies, and once chosen, they will act as their guide to complete the garden project.
Planting Plan

Plants are carefully chosen to suit your garden’s soil conditions, aspect (sun or shade), your preferences, and level of preferred maintenance. You will receive a planting plan for new and existing flower beds along with a plant schedule which will include image references, names and quantities of the plants. I will source the plants and organise the delivery of these and once delivered I can assist the chosen landscapers to lay out the plants.
