Full Garden Renovation by The Leicester Landscaping Company
Client Brief
The homeowner approached The Leicester Landscaping Company seeking a complete transformation of their garden. Although the space was a good size, it lacked structure, colour, and purposeful design. The existing layout consisted mainly of plain lawn, basic fencing, and a small corner feature that did not reflect the client’s vision for a relaxing, modern, and functional outdoor space.
The client chose our full design and construction service to ensure a cohesive plan with expert execution from start to finish.
Client Objectives
They wanted a garden that felt inviting, beautifully planted, and practical for everyday enjoyment. Key requests included:
- A cleaner, more structured layout
- A planting scheme with year-round impact
- A feature area for relaxation and lounging
- Improved visual interest and depth
- Introduce improved planting and soft landscaping
- Deliver a low-maintenance but stylish final design
Design Concept
Our design team created a concept that would add form, character, and visual richness to the previously plain space. Key design elements included:
- Tiered Raised Beds for Height and Colour
To replace the small and underwhelming corner feature, we designed deep timber raised beds. These introduced structure, height variation, and a perfect setting for seasonal and perennial planting.
- A Modern Seating Feature
A hanging egg chair was incorporated as a focal point, adding both function and style. Positioned to overlook the garden, it creates a dedicated relaxation spot.
- Defined Pathway with Stepping Stones
We added a row of modern stone stepping pads to guide movement and visually break up the lawn area while contributing to a more contemporary feel.
- Enhanced Soft Landscaping
A richly layered planting scheme added texture, scent, and colour, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment. Structural shrubs, flowering perennials, and evergreen accents ensure the garden looks appealing in all seasons.
- Complementary Fencing & Decorative Elements
We colour-treated the fencing to a rich tone that complements the planting, creating contrast and depth. Decorative metal wall art and hanging planters add personality and cohesion.
Construction Phase
Our construction team handled all elements of the build, ensuring high-quality workmanship and attention to detail. The process included:
- Removal of outdated features and preparation of the site
- Installation of custom-built timber raised planters
- Soil improvement and planting of the full horticultural scheme
- Laying and leveling of stepping stones
- Fitting decorative features and styling the relaxation area
All work was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption.
The Result
The finished garden is a beautifully balanced outdoor space with depth, character, and a warm, inviting feel. What was once a plain patch of lawn has been transformed into a vibrant sanctuary with:
- Distinct areas for relaxation and visual enjoyment
- Rich planting that brings the garden to life
- Structured design that adds flow and sophistication
- A modern, cohesive aesthetic that reflects the client’s taste
The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, noting that the space now feels like a true extension of their home—perfect for unwinding, entertaining, and enjoying nature.
Client Feedback
The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, praising the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the seamless experience from initial design to final installation. The new garden has become a true extension of their home—stylish, practical, and built to last.
