Woodland Adventure Garden

Project Overview

‍This ambitious two-acre project in Cholsbury transformed an underdeveloped space into a multi-functional woodland retreat. Working closely with the client, we created distinct recreational areas while maintaining the natural character of the setting.

The Brief

‍Create an engaging outdoor space incorporating:

• Full-size basketball court
• Connected pathway system
• Large natural pond
• Access to renovated outbuilding (as featured on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces)

The Challenge

‍The project required extensive earthworks and creative problem-solving to work with the natural topography. We moved and repurposed thousands of tons of soil to create level areas while maintaining the site's organic feel. The sloping terrain demanded careful planning for drainage and accessibility.

The Solution

‍We carefully sculpted the landscape to:

• Create a sheltered clearing for the basketball court
• Install a robust pathway system with wooden edging and self-binding gravel
• Construct a deep, natural-looking pond
• Ensure all elements worked harmoniously with the woodland setting

The Result

‍The finished space feels like a private retreat, blending recreational facilities with natural beauty. The basketball court nestles naturally into the landscape, while the pond and pathways create a sense of discovery. It's a perfect balance of functionality and rustic charm - a holiday-like escape in your own garden.
