Here’s a fantastic garden renovation sent to us by garden designer, Peter Reader.
Brief: The client’s brief was to
update the garden design and
introduce more interest into the
main garden space by using
different levels, rendered walls and
new low maintenance planting,
whilst retaining the feeling of
openness.
Before: The majority of the garden
was laid with ageing artificial turf.
The wooden deck, steps and the
fences were rotting away and
needed to be replaced. Two of the
fences were covered with ivy, which
the client didn’t really like, however
they did appreciate the way it
softened the boundary’s
appearance. They wanted to
replace the collapsing fencing and
to have some new climbers,
although as the garden is quite
small, they didn’t want to feel too
enclosed.
What was done: The old rotting
wooden deck and steps were
removed and replaced with natural
stone. All three fences were
replaced with Jacksons Horizontal
Hit and Miss fencing, which works
well in the space because it
provides privacy, but the gaps
between the boards allow some
light and air through, so it still feels
open and not restrictive, and there’s
the added benefit of Jacksons
Fencing being guaranteed against
rot and insect attack for 25 years,
so it will be looking great for many
years.
so this keeps up the horizontal motif and defines the seating area as a
distinct space within the garden.
Conclusion: The clients are delighted with their new garden, and are looking
forward to seeing it mature over the next few years. An interesting footnote
to the story is that at first the neighbours were unsure about whether to
agree to the fence change and wanted the ivy left in place on their side.
However, once they saw the new Jacksons fences they were delighted and
have removed all the ivy and developed a new flowerbed in its place.

New climbers have been planted
to reduce any starkness as their
foliage and flowers soften the lines
perfectly. In the area around the
raised seating, the fence has been
clad with Jacksons Venetian panels,
