Mary Elliott Garden Design

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of North Yorkshire, Country House Gardens flourish with vibrant displays of seasonal colour and captivating scents. Our designs celebrate the grandeur of large country homes, weaving together vibrant hues, naturalistic textures, and fragrant blooms to create a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary.

An Abundance of Blooms

Imagine strolling through an informal summer border, its hues captivating your senses. Colourful wildflowers dance amidst aromatic herbs, their fragrance filling the air. Winter seed heads provide sustenance for our feathered friends, ensuring an abundance of birdlife throughout the year. More formal borders are meticulously designed with structure in mind, featuring box hedging and graceful conifers that provide a timeless elegance.

Embracing the Shade

For gardens bathed in the soft whispers of the surrounding woodland, we curate a sanctuary of tranquil delight. Tolerant plants embracing the hushed atmosphere create a peaceful oasis, filled with the soothing sounds of birdsong.

Cottage Gardens

Embrace the charm of a quintessential English cottage with a garden designed to capture its essence. Brimming with vibrant hues and sweet perfumes, our designs celebrate the changing seasons, offering captivating displays throughout the year. Low-maintenance plants ensure you can simply relax and enjoy the beauty, with minimal effort.

Balancing Style and Sustainability

Drawing on years of experience and a deep appreciation for quality plants, we source directly from UK producers. This ensures a meticulous selection of robust and flourishing specimens that thrive in your garden. With a focus on sustainable practices, we choose plants that attract beneficial insects and promote ecological balance.

Contemporary Urban Gardens

Modern homes deserve modern gardens. Our contemporary designs echo the sleek lines and minimalist aesthetics of urban spaces. Variegated euonymus replaces the conventional box hedging, offering a contemporary twist with its easy-to-manage foliage. Interconnected shapes and the inclusion of pergolas create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Paving, Walls & Decks

Add an extra layer of functionality and aesthetic appeal to your garden with our expert landscaping services. Durable stone pergola pillars and oak crossbeams create a charming focal point, while low walls offer inviting seating areas. Meticulously planned paving seamlessly integrates with existing structures, guiding the eye through the space.

Instant Screening & Privacy

Achieve instant privacy and enhance your sense of tranquility with our collection of mature plants. Lush laurel hedges and field-grown instant hedging options offer instant screening, creating a peaceful sanctuary from the surrounding world.
