There’s not many better ways to do than eating and entertaining within the garden, so within your Large Garden scheme, we will try to create you many places to dine out.

Whether you require a secretive spot to hide away for a morning coffee, or a more accommodating space to feed your family, our design team will create the space that suits you and your home.

Outdoor Lounges in Large Gardens

By the clever use of outdoor sofas and relaxation furniture positioned next to a feature fireplace, an outdoor lounge literally creates not only an extra room for your home, but in our view the best room of the house. Well designed planting around a stunning terrace encapsulates the area to create an intimate atmosphere and warm space to relax, dine & entertain friends within the garden.

You can even cover your Lounge area with a cleverly designed shelter, a glazed traditional Pergola or a contemporary awning can keep you outside even when the wet weather shows up, making this more than just an occasional summer evening space.
