Green-on-green planting schemes are something I’m being asked for more and more 🌿
There’s something so calm and timeless about a restrained palette — layered textures, subtle contrasts, and a real sense of cohesion. Are you a fan?

At first glance, this image might look simple, but there’s actually a lot going on. Resin bound gravel, crisp metal edging, integrated lighting, sleeper walls, a carefully planted pleached tree avenue, irrigation, bespoke metal fencing, and a mirrored rocket sculpture… to name a few ✨

Proof that the most understated spaces are often the most considered.

The first spring at this project we completed just before Christmas 🌿

These three multi-stem Amelanchier lamarckii at the front are just a small part of the bigger picture — a total of 36 trees and nearly 1,150 plants went into this scheme.

It’s always so rewarding to see everything starting to establish and come to life in that first season. The structure is there, and it will only get better from here ✨

My first time growing tulips 🌷

I’m loving this mix of ‘Ballerina’ and ‘Rasta Parrot’ — such a fun, punchy combination to kick off spring. I chose these tones to bring a really uplifting pop of colour at this time of year.

They’re surprisingly tricky to photograph… I’m guessing reds and oranges aren’t the easiest to capture? But they look so good in real life, I had to share 🧡❤️💛

What varieties have you been growing? I’d love to try different combinations each year 😊

Thanks to @westonsnursery for the bulbs 🙌

So exciting to see this chunky Purbeck crazy paving going down on one of my garden design projects 🌿

It’s been great to use something a little different — full of texture and proudly sourced in the UK. Huge thanks to @arbourlandsol for the beautiful material and @taylorlandscapeanddesign for their expertise laying these absolute whoppers — the biggest pieces are around 150mm thick!

Everything is coming through the house at this Victorian terrace, so I’m timing my visits carefully 😆 although I know the team are secretly loving working with this stone.

Looking forward to showing you the finished space ✨

Rootball season is coming to an end 🌿

With the spring lifting season now finished, my suppliers are onto their last available rootball stock until November. It’s been a busy autumn and winter designing and planning planting schemes to take advantage of this more cost-effective way of introducing trees and hedging into gardens.

Fear not though — planting can happen all year round, it just requires a little more maintenance (and budget) through the warmer months.

As always, planning is key with any garden project. My diary is booked a few months ahead, so if you’re thinking about transforming your outdoor space, do get in touch to join the waiting list ✨

Planting schemes 🌿

I’ve been working on lots of planting plans over the winter, so it’s been especially rewarding to see them coming to life on site recently. While planting can happen throughout the year, autumn and early spring are always ideal.

These beds have been designed to bring plenty of colour and interest, particularly in time for a family wedding being held at the house this summer. It’s such a beautiful setting, and knowing the scheme will be enjoyed by so many people — celebrating, drink in hand, in the sunshine — makes it all the more special 🌞

I can’t wait to show you how it looks just before the big day…

I’m proud to share that I’m now an accredited (Garden Designer) member of the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL), part of the Horticultural Trades Association 🌿

This project was designed with entertaining in mind, creating a generous area where family and friends can gather, eat, relax, and enjoy time outdoors. A space that really works for the way my clients like to use their garden.

A lovely review from clients following completion of a really enjoyable project. Looking forward to seeing the planting establish and the garden get even better over the years 💚
Full review:
"A friend recommended Lucy for our garden design and she has been absolutely brilliant to work with. Our brief was to create two gardens - formal and relaxed - with landscaping and planting themes that connected both. Lucy’s creativity and sense of style have given us two beautiful spaces which are also highly practical, including some delightful boundary screening. Her knowledge of plants is exceptional and we can’t wait for Spring to arrive to see the stars of her planting plan blossom and bloom. Thanks also to West Midlands Landscapes who were excellent too :)"

Spring is just around the corner — lighter evenings are on their way, bulbs are waking up, and garden season is nearly back.

Soon we’ll all be spending more time outside again, and those first evenings outdoors often spark ideas about what we’d love to change or improve ✨

Planning ahead is the secret to a garden that really works for you — and it can save time and money in the long run. If you’re thinking about what your future garden could become, I’d love to help you bring it to life.

Viewpoints are everything in garden design.

I'll admit — I’m slightly obsessive about lining things up. Sightlines through key windows, the direction of pathways, and carefully framing focal points all play a part. Sometimes that focal point isn’t even inside the garden, like the beautiful Holy Trinity Church here.

We call this the "borrowed landscape" — drawing the surrounding scenery into your design to make the space feel more connected, layered, and expansive. It’s one of my favourite ways to add depth and a sense of place to a garden ✨

I’m so excited (and incredibly grateful) to share that I’ve received a service award from Houzz 🏆

Creating gardens my clients truly love — and managing the whole process so it feels smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free — is at the heart of everything I do, so this recognition means a lot.

To be chosen by the millions of homeowners in the Houzz community, from more than 3 million home building, renovation, and design professionals worldwide, honestly feels pretty epic ✨

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients for trusting me with your spaces — this wouldn’t happen without you 🌿

Luxe family garden...bring on the summer ☀️ 💚
#gardendesign #awardwinning #landscapedesign #gardeninspiration #outdoorliving

Well… it’s February already, and the last two weeks of January flew by in a bit of a blur.

My days were filled with more of the same:
▪️ refining plans with the landscaper for a build starting next week
▪️ ordering plants for a beautiful scheme that will form the backdrop to a family wedding this summer
▪️ issuing lighting plans
▪️ adding last-minute bulbs to a recently completed scheme (see photo 🌱)
▪️ site visits
▪️ issuing and developing two new designs
▪️ presenting an interior design scheme, see @lucybravington_interiors
▪️ issuing a design quotation for an exciting new project
▪️ booking in new enquiries

It’s still very wet on site, which is slowing things down, but spring is coming and the evenings will soon be lighter. My tulips are already emerging — which feels very exciting… and yes, I think it’s the first time I’ve ever grown tulips. Shock 😅

Week 2 back at work was another busy one ❄️🌿
Here’s a snapshot of how the week unfolded:

▪️ Developed one of the projects mentioned last week and issued the masterplan early in the week.
▪️ Met with the builder, landscaper and client towards the end of the week to walk through the project and plan upcoming groundworks ahead of house scaffolding going up, which will make access more challenging.
▪️ Issued the tender package to contractors for one of last week’s projects — now ready for quotes.
▪️ Developed the family garden scheme I started last week.
▪️ Ordered material samples for three projects.
▪️ Researched products, structures and materials across several schemes.
▪️ Visited a new and exciting project site.
▪️ Booked in new enquiries for their initial consultations.

It’s useful for me to look back on these weekly snapshots to see how the year has started, and hopefully you find them interesting too.

How was your second week back?

The first week back at work for 2026 was a busy (and very snowy) one ❄️
Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been up to:

▪️ Presented a concept design for a large project — the clients loved it. Just a couple of minor tweaks before it goes out to tender next week.
▪️ Submitted a full masterplan, specification and take-off to both client and contractor, with the build due to start imminently.
▪️ Delivered three detailed lighting plans across ongoing projects.
▪️ Appointed a contractor following a tender process for a garden build starting this spring.
▪️ Received great feedback on 2 designs submitted before the Christmas break — very happy clients, with only minor refinements needed.
▪️ Developed a contemporary balcony scheme, scheduled for installation in February.
▪️ Started work on a new concept design for a family garden.
▪️ Responded to excited new enquiries, booking projects from March onwards.
▪️ Sent what felt like 100 emails… obvs all starting with “Happy New Year!” 😆

Happy Friday to you all — I hope you’ve had a good first week back. I’ve enjoyed receiving lovely snowy photos of completed gardens from clients, like this one ❄️🌿

Change doesn’t have to be reserved for 1st January, so don’t let the “new year, new me” protocols stress you out. Each day offers a chance to reset, refocus, and begin again — without pressure or perfection. 🌿

I’ll be taking a quieter approach to social media in January, but behind the scenes I’m already busy working on projects I’m really excited to share with you soon.

Here’s to a gentle start to the year ✨

As the year comes to a close, here’s a look back at my Top 9 posts of 2025 🌿✨

It’s been a really strong year, focused on design projects and — just as importantly — building and strengthening the relationships that bring those designs to life: wonderful clients, talented landscape contractors, and trusted suppliers.

Some highlights from 2025:
• Working on a wide range of exciting projects, both large and small
• Receiving an industry award
• Having one of my designs featured in a magazine
• Being part of the judging panel at BBC Gardeners’ World Live
• Completing the charity college garden, created alongside students — with its official launch coming in spring 2026
• Seeing several long-running, large-scale projects completed
• Attending inspiring industry events
• Expanding into more select interior design schemes alongside my garden work
• Updating the website and refining the business offering

This year also reinforced a simple but important lesson for me personally — health really is everything — and I’m heading into 2026 feeling grateful, motivated and optimistic.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my work here and followed the journey.
Wishing you all health, happiness and warmth in 2026 ✨🌿

Day 23 of my Garden Design Advent Calendar 🐝🌿

Bees and pollinators are essential, yet their numbers are declining. Around one third of the food we eat relies on pollination, and our gardens can help make a real difference.

With thoughtful planting, even small spaces can support bees and wildlife while still looking beautiful. I love designing planting schemes that balance strong design with nature in mind.

If you’d like to make your garden more wildlife-friendly next year — through a full design or simple advice — feel free to get in touch. Every garden helps. 🌿

Day 20 of my Garden Design Advent Calendar 🌿✨

Transforming an underused side of the house into a purposeful, inviting space. This redesign introduced a seating area, hot tub, water feature, and a transition pathway with arches leading through to the rear garden.

A thoughtful addition that adds both function and enjoyment to the home — making every part of the property work harder.

A contemporary front garden design of mine featuring many of my favourite elements: a pared-back palette, a multi-stem feature tree, metal sculpture, and ornamental grasses — Hakonechloa macra and Stipa tenuissima, two of my absolute favourites.

For me, front gardens should be simple, smart and elegant — and importantly, low maintenance, so they enhance your home without becoming a chore.
If you’re planning a front garden refresh next year, simplicity is always a good place to start.

Day 17 of my Garden Design Advent Calendar 🌿✨

People often ask where I get my design ideas from, and I usually say “everywhere” — which can feel like a bit of a cop-out. But these images from a recent trip to Norwich explain it far better than words ever could.

The geometry found in places like Norwich Cathedral is endlessly inspiring — powerful, emotional, and incredibly considered. My designs are always rooted in geometry, proportion and structure, so spending time in spaces like this feeds both my conscious and subconscious creative thinking.

Inspiration really does come from looking, observing and absorbing the world around us.

People often ask where I get my design ideas from, and I usually say “everywhere” — which can feel like a bit of a cop-out. But these images from a recent trip to Norwich explain it far better than words ever could.

The geometry found in places like Norwich Cathedral is endlessly inspiring — powerful, emotional, and incredibly considered. My designs are always rooted in geometry, proportion and structure, so spending time in spaces like this feeds both my conscious and subconscious creative thinking.

Inspiration really does come from looking, observing and absorbing the world around us.

Day 16 of my Garden Design Advent Calendar 🌿✨

A little tropical inspiration today. These bold hanging features filled with bromeliads made such a striking statement in Costa Rica — a fresh, contemporary take on the traditional hanging basket.

Scale, texture and strong foliage can completely transform a space, and this is a great reminder that thinking differently with planting can create real impact. 🌺
