Hampshire's housing stock is wonderfully varied — Georgian and Victorian properties in the historic centres of Winchester, Romsey and Petersfield; inter-war semis across Southampton and Eastleigh; modern new-builds spreading across the county's market towns. Each property type calls for a landscaping approach that complements the architecture and responds to local character.
Period and Victorian Properties
Period properties in Hampshire deserve garden designs that reflect their character. Brick paths, formal box edging, traditional materials like York stone or granite setts, and planting schemes featuring roses, lavender and traditional perennials all sit beautifully alongside Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
- Natural stone paving — York sandstone, limestone or granite
- Formal herb or kitchen gardens near the house
- Espaliered fruit trees against walls and fences
- Traditional rose gardens with structured box hedging
- Topiary and clipped forms for punctuation
Modern and New-Build Properties
Contemporary Hampshire homes suit clean lines, minimal clutter and low-maintenance materials. Porcelain paving, steel or aluminium edging, structural grasses and bold architectural planting all work well against modern architecture.
Rural Hampshire Properties
Country properties in Hampshire benefit from gardens that blur the boundary between the cultivated garden and the surrounding landscape. Native planting, meadow areas, ha-has and informal kitchen gardens all help integrate the garden with its rural setting.
