Courtyard garden near Chippenham
I started work with the owners of this house just after they received planning permission to extend the kitchen. They wanted a stylish garden to go with the conversion. Mrs Savage says: “We are very honored that you want to include our garden design in your website. Your courtyard design has definitely completed our home and we enjoy it every moment we are here.”
