Our work

Our garden design projects

Here at Llevelo, we pride ourselves on our flexibility. We want to deliver a garden which reflects you and not simply thumb print our taste onto you.
Get in touch
We have worked on an array of styles and designs from a Medieval Garden to a Contemporary landscape. But what is it about each that defines them into a specific category? As with all clever design, there is rarely one defining feature but, more often, a series of small details that, together, create a lasting impression.

A Kitchen Garden
When we first visited this garden, it was an unused area which was tired and joyless. The client wanted to do 'something' and had an idea about a greenhouse.

A Garden with a View
Embracing a view is a challenge we relish in. Ensuring the garden is beautiful in its own right without competing with the view is crucial to a successful design. In the case of this large garden in Althorne, Essex, the design called for a simplified layout to help acheive that. Fantastic views of the esturary […]

A Small Urban Garden Space Design
This small garden in Colchester, Essex had measured just 10m x 10m (33' x 33') and was heavily overlooked to the rear. The brief was for a contemporary finish which they could entertain friends and family in. The house was raised above the garden by approximately 1.5m (6') so the lack of privacy was especially […]

A Family Space
This is a fabulously fun garden on Mersea, near Colchester. The brief was simple: the client wanted something that didn't look like his friends' gardens!

The Awkward Shaped Plot
This corner plot was originally a gate keeper's lodge and was later sold off from the main dwelling and the lodge extended. Whilst the views from the building were of lush fields and rolling hills, the dimensions of the garden were uncomfortable and didn't lend themselves to a natural layout.

Sub-dividing a Space
The brief was for a garden to potter and perch in. The client said that they had, on several occasions, stood in the centre of the garden at a total loss with how to create shape and add different areas into the garden.

Garden Design - The Narrow Garden
This unique space in the heart of Chelmsford, Essex measured an incredible 69m (226') in length by less than 14m (45') in width. Furthermore, the husband and wife had quite different tastes.

A Georgian Garden
Set in 14 acres of land, this beautiful one acre walled garden near Colchester was an original feature to a Georgian property. There was an existing swimming pool at one end and old fruit trees along the walls but, other than this and some low hedging, the garden was a blank canvas.

Garden Design - Dealing with Level Changes
This large garden in Roydon, Essex, presented a challenge: a significant level change with a difference of 3200mm from the house to the rear boundary, and the ground was heavy clay.

The Need for Privacy
This modern farmhouse near Colchester had been built centrally to the plot of land and the 'garden' was primarily lawn and a few trees but lacked structure and flow.
