Taunton Traditional Garden
This Taunton traditional garden transformation created a welcoming and practical outdoor space with a strong sense of structure. SilverBirch Gardens redesigned the garden to introduce a large circular lawn, generous planting beds and new areas for seating and entertaining.
The design combines natural stone, soft planting and carefully considered curves to create a timeless garden that suits the character of the property.
A Traditional Garden Design in Taunton
We created a clear layout that makes the garden easier to use while retaining a traditional feel. The new design uses curved shapes and natural materials to avoid a rigid appearance and create a softer connection between the different areas.
The large circular lawn forms the centre of the design. It provides an open area of grass while giving the surrounding planting beds a strong sense of definition.
Large Circular Lawn
The large circular lawn creates a central focal point within the garden. Its curved shape adds movement to the design and contrasts with the more structured paving and stonework.
The lawn also creates a generous open area for enjoying the garden. Surrounding it with defined planting beds helps frame the space and gives the garden a balanced and cohesive appearance.
Tumbled Sandstone Sett Pathway
We introduced a pathway using tumbled sandstone setts to create a natural connection around the garden.
The aged appearance of the tumbled setts complements the traditional style of the garden. Their smaller format also works particularly well with the curved layout, helping the pathway follow the shape of the garden naturally.
The pathway provides a practical route through the garden while adding texture and character to the overall design.
New Sandstone Paving and Seating Areas
We used sandstone paving to create new seating areas within the garden. The natural stone provides a warm and timeless finish that works well alongside the lawn, planting and tumbled sandstone setts.
The new seating areas give the homeowners places to relax, entertain and enjoy different views across the garden.
Using sandstone throughout key areas also helps tie the design together and creates a consistent material palette.
Steps Connecting the Garden
We introduced new sandstone steps to improve movement between the different levels of the garden.
The steps form an important part of the overall layout while providing a practical connection between the seating areas, lawn and planting. Using sandstone helps integrate the steps with the new paving and wider garden design.
Large Defined Planting Beds
The design incorporates large defined planting beds around the central lawn and along the garden’s boundaries.
These generous planting areas provide space for a varied planting scheme and help soften the hard landscaping. They also frame the lawn and pathways, creating a strong sense of enclosure without making the garden feel restricted.
As the planting develops, it will add colour, texture and seasonal interest throughout the year.
A Timeless Garden for Modern Living
This Taunton traditional garden combines classic garden design principles with practical spaces for modern outdoor living.
The circular lawn, tumbled sandstone sett pathway, sandstone paving, steps and large planting beds work together to create a garden that feels established and natural.
Every element contributes to the overall flow of the design, creating a space that is both attractive and easy to enjoy.
