A large town garden in west London; the design, although softened with informal planting of multi stemmed trees and herbaceous borders, had a contemporary feel. Portland stone was used for paving, steps and copings. It included craning into position and planting a 15 metre Tilia (Lime) tree weighing over 4 tonnes – our largest to date!
