A strong but simple design concept is required to make in an impact in a large garden. Durability and maintenance must be considered at the outset so the garden is built to last. There is an opportunity to be dramatic with planting taking advantage of the generous space. At Langlea, we see large gardens as blank canvases where bold vision and careful planning can come together to create truly memorable environments.
Designing on a large scale requires a nuanced understanding of proportion, flow, and cohesion. We ensure that each section of the garden serves a purpose while contributing to the overall harmony of the space. Whether the brief involves formal gardens, wildflower meadows, woodland planting, or contemporary outdoor living areas, we bring a flexible yet thoughtful approach to every project.
Our design process is always rooted in collaboration. We take time to understand how clients intend to use their garden, whether it's for family life, entertaining, relaxing, or cultivating, and tailor our designs to enhance those experiences. Sustainability, biodiversity, and seasonal interest are core principles we integrate into every large garden project, ensuring it thrives year-round.
We work closely with our internal team to deliver high-quality construction, from precision hard landscaping to bespoke water features, Our team also liaises with local planners, engineers, and architects when necessary, especially for gardens that form part of listed properties or larger developments.
Large gardens demand long-term thinking, and we’re committed to providing support well beyond the initial build. Whether it’s for ongoing planting, maintenance advice, or future developments, our relationship with clients continues long after completion, helping each garden reach its full potential over time.
If you're ready to reimagine your outdoor space, we’d love to hear from you.
It is crucial for a given design choice to seamlessly integrate the outdoors with the indoors, and all chosen materials with their immediate surroundings, which means that every stage of a design and construction process must be meticulously considered.
