| Large Family Garden
          
        A strong simple  layout for a young family in new contemporary house, Radlett, Hertfordshire. Two large  central rooms of lawn centre on a magnificent mature copper beech tree and are flanked  by a series of bold perennial plant beds divided by clipped sweeping Portuguese  laurel hedge walls green ivy backdrops and box clouds. The planting style becomes  more formal towards the house and the sawn sandstone treatment of the  entertainment terrace with a specimen ironwood “sun-brella” roof tree creates a  soft focus from the internal living area.  |
