A LUXURY COUNTRY GARDEN
A magnificent country estate situated in the highly exclusive and prestigious enclave of Ascot provides the setting for this prestigious landscape project, where evergreen domes of varying sizes are thoughtfully arranged among seasonal bulbs, herbaceous perennials, and clipped evergreen shrubs, creating a refined composition with year-round structure and interest.
The stone paving of the main front entrance has been softened and enhanced with a rich tapestry of groundcovers, evergreen domes, and flowering bulbs, bringing texture, colour, and seasonal beauty throughout the year.
A pair of existing bronze dragons from Thailand has been carefully repositioned along the estate's central axis, aligned with the main outdoor dining area. Rising gracefully from a carpet of low-growing groundcover, these sculptural elements create a striking focal point within the landscape.
A sweeping cascade of Rhododendrons frames the indoor swimming pool, visually connecting the formal lawn with the surrounding woodland and creating a seamless transition between the cultivated garden and the natural landscape.
Adjacent to the gym building, a woodland garden has been designed to complement and enrich the existing Japanese-inspired planting.
The composition incorporates additional mature Acer palmatum specimens alongside a diverse palette of shade- and moisture-loving groundcovers, forming a lush green carpet along the river that gently winds through the estate.

The property also features one of England's oldest private labyrinths, together with a bespoke luxury wooden treehouse, handcrafted in England to create an exceptional play space that blends harmoniously with its woodland setting.
Feature lighting highlights the elegant umbrella-shaped trees that define the outdoor dining area, while subtle illumination accentuates the planting beds, sculptural forms, and contemporary stone steps, extending the enjoyment of the garden well into the evening.
