A selection of our garden, planting and landscape designs is shown in our Garden Design Portfolio here. Leaf & Acre's Garden Design Portfolio contains examples of various styles of garden for different situations. Please scroll down to view each with their picture galleries. Beautiful pale grey external porcelain tiles are used for this large terrace in Whetstone.
As part of the garden design service in North London, all the details for your new garden are defined clearly in high quality drawings for the landscaper to bring the design to reality. This involves measuring the entire site and locating all existing features, trees and plants which are to be retained or removed.
We had a bad experience with a previous garden contractor, so chose carefully when it came time to having our garden redesigned. The level of detail in Sioban's work, from the extensive garden survey, the technical drawings, setting out plan, paving layout, mood boards and planting plans was exceptional.
Mature ash, sycamore, oak and holly make a natural setting for this woodland garden. The dappled shade suits many shrubs, bulbs and herbaceous plants. Whether in the heat of summer or darkest winter, the woodland garden provides a lovely family retreat in Whetstone, North London. We used wildflower meadow turf to make the woodland glade.

Sioban took on board our lifestyle, budget and maintenance requirements and came up with a bespoke garden design tailored to our needs. Incredibly professional, from her clear, prompt communication to her level of detail in all aspects of the work. Sioban had qualified, experienced professionals

Sioban designed my back garden and also produced tender documents for a landscaper to implement the plan. She combines creativity and a huge amount of horticultural knowledge with professionalism, an eye for detail and lots of common sense. Six months on from the initial planting I am delighted with the end result - my garden has been transformed into exactly the space that I wanted it to be, with new surprises popping up every week.
