When our client in Great Easton envisioned a garden that was both beautiful and easy to care for, we turned to the expertise of Nicola at Rutland Garden Design. Nicola’s flair for creating stunning, functional landscapes is truly inspiring, and we were thrilled to work alongside her to execute this fantastic design.


The Vision: A Mediterranean Escape in Great Easton

The goal was clear: create a tranquil, low-maintenance garden with a distinct Mediterranean feel that would thrive in the Great Easton landscape. This meant incorporating natural stone elements, gravel pathways, and defining areas for relaxation and enjoyment, all while ensuring durability and ease of upkeep. The existing space, while functional, was ready for a fresh new look and optimised use.

The Transformation: Our Groundwork & Landscaping Expertise in Action

Our role at C Allen Groundworks and Landscaping was to lay the essential foundations and bring Nicola’s intricate design to fruition. This project, completed efficiently in Great Easton, involved several key stages:


  1. Initial Site Preparation & Groundwork: We began with meticulous site preparation, clearing the existing layout and preparing the ground. Proper groundwork is crucial for any successful landscaping project, ensuring excellent drainage and a stable base for all new features.

  2. Creating Defined Areas: Working closely with Nicola's plans, we carefully shaped the garden, creating distinct zones for planting, seating, and pathways.

  3. Laying the Foundations for Features: We installed the necessary sub-bases for the pathways and any hardscaping elements, ensuring longevity and stability, crucial for a truly low-maintenance finish in all weathers.

  4. Careful Material Installation: Our skilled team meticulously laid the chosen natural stone and gravel, paying close attention to detail to achieve the authentic Mediterranean aesthetic specified by Rutland Garden Design, right here in Great Easton.


The Stunning Result: Before & After

The transformation is truly remarkable. What was once an ordinary garden in Great Easton is now a captivating Mediterranean oasis, brimming with character and designed for minimal fuss.



The synergy between Nicola’s innovative design from Rutland Garden Design and our precise execution at C Allen Groundworks and Landscaping resulted in a garden that not only meets the client's desire for low maintenance but also surpasses expectations in beauty and functionality. We're proud to add this stunning Great Easton landscaping project to our portfolio.
