Garden with ponds, Burley-in-Wharfedale

The clients required a master plan for the extensive garden to their new house. The proposals included a large oval lawn (30 metres long), a woodland garden and a series of ponds leading to a small lake. The flowing shapes of the design were influenced by the art nouveau detailing in the house.
