Landscape Design for Timeless British Gardens

Our Approach to Garden Design

At Shythrelmychelil, we believe gardens should reflect both heritage and modern living. Each project begins with understanding your space, lifestyle, and vision. We combine traditional British garden principles with contemporary design to create outdoor environments that stand the test of time.

Project Portfolio

Our portfolio showcases diverse garden projects across Great Britain, from urban courtyard spaces to expansive country estates. Each garden tells a unique story and reflects the character of both the property and its owners.

Urban Courtyard

A compact London garden transformed into a peaceful retreat with year-round interest and minimal maintenance requirements.

Country Estate

Restoration of period gardens with formal elements, mixed borders, and woodland areas that complement historic architecture.

Family Garden

Versatile spaces that accommodate both children's play and adult relaxation, with durable materials and accessible layouts.

Our Design Philosophy

Good garden design balances structure with natural growth. We create frameworks using evergreen plants and hardscaping that provide year-round form, then layer in seasonal plants for color and texture. This approach ensures your garden remains attractive even in winter months.

We believe gardens should evolve gracefully. Plants are chosen not just for immediate impact, but for how they will mature over decades. This long-term thinking results in gardens that become more beautiful with age.

Seasonal Interest

Every season brings something special—spring bulbs, summer perennials, autumn foliage, and winter structure create year-round appeal.

Material Selection

We source materials locally where possible, choosing natural stone, reclaimed brick, and timber that weather beautifully over time.

Working With Nature

Understanding local ecosystems is fundamental to our work. We design gardens that support native wildlife, from pollinators to birds, while requiring minimal intervention. Soil health, water management, and plant communities work together to create resilient landscapes.

Our planting schemes often include native species alongside carefully selected non-native plants that complement them. This approach creates gardens that feel natural and established, even when newly planted.
