Eaglestone Landscape Design

Here is a proposal for a bespoke shed with a green roof planted up with wildflower/grass mix.

Here is an example of what can be achieved in a small garden in the centre of Brighton. The space is only 6m x 4m. A curving sandstone sett path encloses the lawn with an Ashdown brick retaining wall seen on the right. At the back right on the path room was given for the client to place a chair and admire the largest and south-facing border throughout the summer. They can also escape from the sun. Steps in the top left corner amongst the planting give rise to the illusion of more garden.

The Age of Stupid is the new four-year epic from McLibel director Franny Armstrong. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Here are some snaps of our latest work, a modern courtyard garden in central Brighton. Also below is the design and some 3D images of the garden before some amendments were made. The paving is sandblasted and sandbrushed Jura Limestone. The two spectacular trees you can see are a Eriobotrya japonica standard (back right) and a Podocarpus saliguns, introduced from Chile in 1853 (front left). Front right is a mature Fatsia japonica.

The garden can be viewed during the Brighton Open Houses Festival in May, 40 Tidy St, if you would like to take a gander. The house is owned by Fiona and Mark whom both have a fervour for contemporary living spaces and art. Much of the furniture and fittings on display in the house has been built by Mark who owns Square One Design Workshop, a contemporary bespoke furniture manufacturer. Mark will be building a hardwood bench on the white rendered block work.

There are some finishing touches to be made before it is finally completed, which is evident from the photos, but you should get a clear idea of what the garden will look like once finished. Photos of the garden will be posted on the portfolio page as soon as possible.
