Project: Elm Tree
Budget: 30-35k
Joanne and Scott commissioned Olive Tree to transform their neglected, overgrown garden post-renovation into a country cottage and nature-friendly haven. We designed a new space featuring a riven Raj blend sandstone patio that wraps around the house, guiding to a pergola at the garden's end, supporting an existing wisteria.
A new seating area, surrounded by large borders filled with pollinator-friendly plants, ensures year-round interest with winter bloomers, evergreens, and summer delights, complemented by ornamental grasses. Two corten steel water bowls enhance wildlife appeal and garden structure, while raised sleeper planters and a lush new lawn complete the transformation, accented by three stunning twisted bay trees.

"After an extension to the rear of the house, our garden was in need of redevelopment. We spoke to Paul from Olive Tree Landscaping and knew we didn’t need to look any further. We told Paul what we did and didn’t like and he created on paper an amazing garden. I must say that the garden is just amazing, providing a peaceful, textured haven. It is a vision that enters the rear rooms.
Paul’s love of gardening shows through his work. I would recommend Paul and his team to everyone. Thank you again for creating such a beautiful space for us."
