Below are recent projects that Stansfeld Garden Design have completed.

 
 

Harvey Steps

A curving flight of brick and stone steps gently ascend 2.30 metres at a Suffolk farm house.



The design for this garden in Harpenden combined straight lines - his preference, with curves - her preference. Slight changes in level were exploited to add interest and were linked by steps and a ramp. Plant choice was based on those native to that particular post code area.

Santa Fe comes to St. Albans... a design and build scheme for a Southern Mexican style garden using 'adobe' walls and bright colours.



The play of light and the contrast of texture, form and colour bring vitality to a front garden near Bedford. Box and hazel will provide the planting structure with drifts of other native plants including snowdrop, primrose, foxglove, hardy cranesbill, gladdon, and stinking hellebore enriched with some exotic species.



An Edwardian style garden at Cardington near Bedford.

Enclosure, formality, simplicity and colour characterised the Edwardian garden and these are qualities that we have aimed to encapsulate in this garden made in spring 2004.

The design of the seat is based upon an original made by J.P. White of Bedford.


A classic colour combination in a mixed planting of shrubs, perennials, grasses and spring bulbs in a Hertfordshire garden.



This small corner of a garden in St.Albans not far from the Roman site of Verulamium was designed to include elements of a Roman garden. The paving includes terracotta tesserae; hazel hurdles act as a screen; planting includes Acanthus mollis, Myrtus communis (Common Myrtle), Lilium candidum (Madonna Lily) and Myrrhis odorata (Sweet Cicely). A bust of Caligula keeps a watchful eye.
