garden design and landscaping in Box
Design-led gardens, Bath-stone walling and terracing, ponds and outdoor living across Box and the surrounding villages. Built in keeping with Bath-stone country.
Considered gardens in Box
Box is Bath-stone country, the village above the great Box Tunnel and the old stone quarries, affluent and steeped in the honey-coloured stone that built Bath. We design and build design-led gardens here: full garden design and build, stone walling and terracing, ponds and water features, and outdoor living, worked to suit the stone character.
The ground around Box
Box sits on Bath oolitic limestone, thin, free-draining and alkaline, which suits drought-tolerant planting and proper soil preparation. The local stone is central to the look, and the ground often falls on the valley sides, so stone terracing and retaining, matched to the local stone and built with the right footings and drainage, is some of the most fitting work here.
In keeping with the stone
The properties are period Bath stone, much within the conservation area, where taste and restraint matter. We work in matched local stone and quality materials to a design-led standard, so new work sits with the old.
Planning in Box
Box has a conservation area and listed stock, so the rules on materials and frontages tighten. We tell you what applies to your property before we start, and point you to Wiltshire Council where a check or application is needed. Guidance from experience, not a substitute for the council's decision.
