Sally Bower Landscape Design

With over a decade of experience in North West I pride myself in bespoke, high quality landscape designs, working and collaborating with professionals, developers, private clients and local communities. I tailor my services to the individual requirements of each client. So if you are interested in creating outside places for playing, living, nurturing and working then I would love to hear from you.

This landscape scheme complemented a replacement dwelling in East Cheshire Greenbelt. Working alongside the client and architect I developed a landscape strategy which responds positively to its countryside setting as well as creating a pleasing garden close to the house. Sensitive thought was given to the new location of the dwelling, its appearance and orientation so that it would be grounded in the wooded village edge setting. The landscape strategy enhanced many of the site's countryside elements and improved the biodiversity of the site.

The brief for this garden was to create a wildlife woodland garden, centring around a large new pond and meadow. The garden slopes up as you move away from the cottage. The design took the water theme from the upper patio area at the top of the garden via a rill and the large pond to the lower breakfast patio next to the house. The layout, whilst appear organic, picks up on the orientation of the house and existing summer house - so that it seamlessly ties together. As it has matured the garden has achieved its aims of providing multiple places to sit and socialise with paths to explore the garden through wooded areas, stepping stones and a wildflower meadow.
