Whether it’s a family picnic with the kids running around or a more romantic setup with wine and snacks, it’s those simple moments that make a garden really worth enjoying. Although… if you’ve got a dog, you’ll probably spend at least part of the picnic protecting your sandwiches from being “accidentally” stolen ??We always say the best gardens are the ones that are actually lived in… spaces to relax, entertain, laugh, and spend time together. That’s what outdoor living is all about!Here’s to making the most of the sunshine while it lasts ☀️Want to see what your garden’s potential is?

The Beauty is in the Materials…One of the things we really love in garden design is how much the materials do the talking.In a space like this, it’s not just about layout or levels - it’s the mix of textures and finishes that quietly defines everything.The warm tones of the paving against the clean brick edge, the contrast between smooth stone and gravel, and then the softness of the planting alongside it… all of that working together is what gives the garden its structure.Even something as simple as a raised edge or a change in surface can naturally separate areas without needing anything obvious or heavy.It’s those material choices that decide whether a garden feels harsh, soft, modern, natural, or somewhere in between.And when they’re done well, you don’t really notice them individually - you just feel how balanced the space is.Do you tend to notice materials in a garden, or is it something you only realise when it all comes together?www.actuallandscapes.co.uk #Landscapers #LandscapeDesigns #LuxuryGardens #GardenMakeover #LoveYourGarden #LandscapingChester #GardenDesignCheshire #GardenDesignWirral #EnglishCountryGarden #LandscapeGoals #GardenGoals #weareapl #QualityMaterials

[IMG: Silver Gilt - RHS Flower Show]
[H3] RHS Silver Gilt x 2
We are also proud to have been awarded the Silver-Gilt Medal. This recognition is given to exhibits that are of an exceptional standard. Receiving the Silver-Gilt Medals reflects the high quality of our work, showcasing our strong design, planting, and execution skills.
These awards are a significant achievement and a testament to our dedication to creating remarkable landscapes.
We are incredibly proud to have been awarded the Silver-Gilt Medal for two exceptional garden projects, each recognised for its outstanding design, execution, and impact.
First, the Oasis Garden was a standout in the Future Spaces Gardens category, not only earning the Silver-Gilt Medal but also winning Best Future Spaces Garden and Best Show Garden, Future Spaces and Young Designer. This garden addressed the challenges of rising future temperatures by creating microclimates within an urban apartment complex’s south-facing courtyard.
The garden’s lush, diverse planting palette, including a striking Malus ‘Almey’ crab apple tree and a variety of sun-loving and shade-thriving plants, provides a serene retreat for residents. The innovative design, featuring large pyramid structures that absorb heat and green living walls that cool the space, demonstrates how thoughtful landscaping can create beautiful, functional environments even in challenging conditions.
Our My Name’5 Doddie Garden, was also awarded the Silver-Gilt Medal and honoured with the People’s Choice Best Show Garden and Best Construction Award. This garden paid tribute to Doddie Weir, the legendary Scotland rugby international who dedicated his life to raising awareness and funding research for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) after his diagnosis.
The garden’s design reflects Doddie’s personal tartan, and is wheelchair accessible, offering a space where families affected by MND can relax and enjoy time together, continuing to serve this purpose after its relocation post-show.
