This yard in west London had always been cherished by its owners. “They really loved it,” landscape designer Peter Reader says. “It’s a strange triangular shape and quite quirky. It has areas of woodland too — unexpected in London —and they loved the atmosphere in it.” It hadn’t been touched for 15 years, though, so when Reader was asked to redesign it, he was confronted with overgrown shrubs, tired plantings, uneven paths and underused corners.The brief was to bring it all up to date.
