‘I wanted to create an outside room, opening out from the kitchen, that was easy to look after. And I was fortunate to find a great company online, Taylored Gardens, which offers both design and build services – it’s a one stop shop!’ says Beth.

THE PLOT

A good-sized rectangular 15x5m plot belonging to a 1950s three-bedroom house in Strawberry Hill, Middlesex.

THE CHALLENGE

To make the existing space work harder by creating different areas for relaxing.

“I wanted the garden to be a sanctuary and a social space to entertain – extending the house out into the garden. I am delighted with the end results”
