Garden design in is the detail - how to transform a boring backyard to a lush green oasis...

What makes a town garden feel like a true green oasis? Top London garden designers, Charlotte Rowe and Tomoko Kawauchi of Charlotte Rowe Garden Design, show us how the smallest details – in the paving, pathways and seating areas – can completely transform a space. This is an award-winning garden - The Garden of the Year 2026, winning the highest award (The Grand Award) from the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers (SGLD). It also won two of the categories - Small Residential Landscapes & Garden and Built Landscape. Watch this to see how gardens are changing! It's a family garden but it has no lawn. It has something far more interesting – layers of design detail that turn it into a journey of hidden seating areas and evolving spaces. 00:00 A quick tour of a gorgeous town garden designed by Charlotte Rowe Garden Design 00:27 Charlotte Rowe Garden Design: https://www.charlotterowe.com/ 00:57 Use the same bricks, stone or pavers repeatedly and interweave them 01:26 The principles - where to start with garden design 02:17 Create a journey in the garden 03:13 How to deal with different levels in a garden 07:48 What are the best materials for paving and terracing 10:18 The important thing about steps in gardens 12:21 Deciding the planting 13:12 Add multi-stem trees to town gardens 13:24 Tips on choosing garden furniture 14:36 What you need to know about choosing an arbor 16:00 Designing a front garden For garden ideas, gardening advice, garden design and landscaping ideas for your garden or backyard, subscribe to the Middlesized Garden YouTube channel here:    / themiddlesizedgardencouk   Whether you love English garden style, cottage gardens or contemporary urban gardening, The Middlesized Garden has gardening advice and garden ideas for you.
