Surrey Swimming Pool Garden

Contemportary swimming pool and pergola in garden setting.

Designing gardens with pools

Balance and simplicity

This beautiful listed building set on a slope in Cobham required a clever layout to accommodate a number of features desired by the clients. Despite the grand scale of the building, the garden is relatively small and rises three metres across the site. Fitting a swimming pool, level lawn, parking and even a ball area with sports fencing required careful use of retaining walls and stepped terraces.

Garden built by Graduate Landscapes Ltd, Liphook, Hampshire.
