We’re honoured to be APL Award Finalists in the Sustainability & Biodiversity category for Radnage.
Designed by@editlandscapedesign and built by our team at J&S Scapes, this project began with a clear ambition: transform a concrete-heavy front garden with little privacy into a secluded wildlife haven - one that could be enjoyed from both inside and outside the home.
Guest parking was relocated towards the boundary using permeable grasscrete, reducing the visual impact of vehicles while maintaining practicality. The existing concrete driveway was removed and rebuilt with gravel grids over a permeable sub-base, improving drainage and reducing standing water.
Level access was carefully integrated through ramped clay paver pathways - future-proofed, yet aesthetically cohesive.
At the heart of the design sits a pond and wetland system. Downpipes were disconnected from the mains drainage and redirected through a steel rill into the pond, before overflowing into a soakaway within the planting border. The result is rainwater managed entirely on site - while creating habitat now home to insects, frogs and newts - and reflecting light beautifully into the entrance hall.
Large areas of lawn were replaced with naturalistic planting to increase biodiversity and reduce maintenance. A varied tree palette introduces blossom, fruit and berries for seasonal interest and foraging opportunities.
A sunny seating area is screened by planting and bespoke iroko boundary gates - providing privacy from the road while allowing light to filter through.
A front garden reimagined - from hardstanding to habitat.
Designed with nature. Delivered with care.

We’re honoured to be APL Award Finalists in the `Project Value £100,000–£175,000` category for Copperkins.
What was once a tired garden - with an overgrown, forgotten space hidden behind a mature yew hedge - has been reimagined into three distinct, connected zones designed around how the family lives.
Closest to the house, a formal terrace provides space for cooking, dining and relaxing. An oak pergola with a retractable sail offers welcome shade to this south-facing garden, while a gentle water rill runs beside the sofa seating, adding movement and calm.
The central section opens into an expansive lawn for play, framed by generous borders that incorporate existing mature planting wherever possible - preserving character while refreshing the space.
Beyond the hedge lies a more secluded retreat: a secret garden with a garden room built by @soulfulhideaways , fire bowl and a @urbancedar hot tub. A quieter space, intentionally separated yet still connected.
Delivered through a wet winter with limited access, the result feels settled and cohesive - as though it has always belonged.
A garden restructured with purpose.
Built with care. Designed to last.

We’re delighted to be APL Award Finalists in the `Project Value £35,000–£50,000` category for Milford.
This beautiful home backs onto mature woodland, with a generous garden that had potential to offer so much more.
The brief was simple: create purposeful spaces that encourage the family to use the garden throughout the day.
The design follows the path of the sun. A quiet seating area beside a gently trickling pond captures the morning light, while a pergola-covered dining space is perfectly positioned for the warmth of the evening sun.
At the far end of the garden, hidden behind established rhododendrons, a more secluded retreat awaits - a fire bowl area enclosed by a log wall and simple pergola, nestled within woodland-style planting.
A garden that shifts with the light.
Spaces with intention.
Designed to be enjoyed from morning through to dusk.

We’re proud to be APL Award Finalists in the `Project Value £65,000–£80,000` category for Meadow Way.
This project began as a building site following a rear extension - a blank canvas with a rising garden and a clear brief: create outdoor rooms that feel like a natural continuation of the home.
The garden slopes away from the house, so rather than fight the levels, we worked with them. A retaining wall was introduced, doubling as the backrest to bespoke banquette seating - creating a defined yet relaxed space for gathering.
Sun loungers were positioned to capture the best of the light. A dedicated outdoor kitchen and dining area sits beneath an aluminium pergola with a louvered roof, offering flexibility through the seasons.
Planting was kept simple and structural to complement the contemporary architecture and maintain clarity across the space.
A former construction site, now a series of purposeful outdoor rooms.
Designed with intent. Built with precision.

J&S Scapes totally transformed a grassed, relatively boring area of our garden into a formal, sculptural but really useable area. Â Whilst the end result is stunning, the way they work is also great. Â Everything from initial concept through to final planting was really professional. Â They listened hard to our brief, accommodated and adapted to our changing requirements and included us in all aspects of the project. Â The team were a pleasure to work with and have kept in touch to see how the garden has developed.
