Townhouse Garden Design & Build, Newquay
 

EGD Renovations designed and built this 150m² townhouse garden in Newquay, drawing on our origins in ecological garden design. The shell-shaped design was inspired by the coastal location, creating the illusion of space in this two-level, L-shaped garden. The project involved extensive groundwork, bricklaying, carpentry and landscaping to transform a deteriorating concrete space into a beautiful outdoor living area.

Note: EGD originally stood for Ecological Garden Design - our London-based business transforming outdoor spaces for inner city schools before relocating home to Cornwall.
