Based in Oxfordshire, we are fortunate to be able to help design, landscape and nurture some of Oxford’s most glorious and historical townhouse gardens.
With city centre gardens coming in all different shapes and sizes, townhouse gardens are charming outdoor spaces, jam-packed with potential and just waiting to be brought to life with an innovative and fluid design. From traditional styles to more contemporary and minimalistic designs, there are so many different ways that you can transform your townhouse into both a beautiful and functional space. From elegant paved spaces to delightful decking areas, let’s explore a few ways that our garden designers could help to transform your townhouse garden into a cohesive and flourishing landscape design.
Add levels to your garden
Townhouse gardens can often be rather long and narrow spaces, so to extend your garden and create a greater sense of depth, our landscaping team incorporate a series of levels into our townhouse garden designs. Sunken steps and gravel chip pathways are just two examples that our team can use to create a glorious tiered garden. Staircases and sunken steps are a fantastic way to frame a tiered system that guides you down to explore your outdoor spaces below.
To enhance your townhouse garden with tranquility and to boost the sensory value of your outdoor space, cascading water features are another wonderful element that our designers love to include within our designs to create a series of differing levels.
Raised beds
No matter the size or structure of your garden, townhouse gardens are the perfect canvases for including a selection of raised beds into your design. Used to construct beautiful kitchen and cutting gardens, raised beds are fantastic features that can be slotted into a variety of challenging areas. Enabling you to grow vibrant blooms and scrumptious homegrown produce, talk to our team to discover how our skilled in-house landscapers create glorious growing spaces.
Retaining walls
One of our landscaping team’s favourite elements has to be retaining walls, as they are fabulous for adding an extra touch of visual interest throughout your garden. If your garden is slightly sloped, then retaining walls could be a very handy landscaping feature to include throughout your design as they can be crafted to suit and enhance your garden’s existing structure.
Dressing your garden with an array of varying levels, retaining walls guide your eye to explore the garden that lies beyond. Traditionally constructed from natural stone such as limestone and granite, natural stone is wonderful for adding timeless structure and subtly adding a series of levels into your garden scene.
Living roofs
The roofs of our homes and garden rooms are empty spaces just crying out for a touch of visual interest. So why not add a tapestry of colour to your garden with a glorious living roof. Fabulous for encouraging biodiversity into your garden and reducing the effects of pollution, living roofs are fantastic for supporting the local environment found within your urban garden.

Garden rooms
If you’re looking to extend your home without the hassle and time-consuming nature of an extension, then a garden room could be the perfect fit for you and your family. Whether you’re looking to create a furnished gym, secluded garden office or cosy art studio, the beauty of garden rooms is that they can be moulded to perform whatever function you wish. Easily adapted to fit into a variety of tricky spaces, garden rooms are a wonderful way of adding an extra dimension to your townhouse garden.
