If you’re working with a small garden, you might think your options are limited—no boundless lawns, no grand patios, no space for that dream garden room. But with smart design, the right materials, and a few clever tricks, even the tiniest outdoor space can feel luxurious, functional, and surprisingly spacious.

At Forest Stone, we recently had the pleasure of supplying materials for a stunning Mediterranean-style garden designed and built by the talented team at Smith and Gorman. Located in Southampton, this project is a masterclass in how to blend hard landscaping, natural stone, and drought-tolerant planting to create a space that feels like a holiday retreat.

When it comes to creating outdoor spaces that blend functionality with modern aesthetics, few projects capture the essence as beautifully as this one. Nestled in the picturesque New Forest, this garden transformation is a collaboration between Neil Jones Garden Design, Aurum Hortis Landscaping, and Forest Stone.

At Forest Stone, we are thrilled to introduce our latest natural stone wall cladding material, Lymington Coach House Cladding. This premium product brings together timeless charm and modern practicality, making it the perfect choice for projects seeking an upmarket appearance while embracing the beauty of traditional dry stone walling.

Filmed over 18 months, this blog and accompanying video document the complete renovation and creation of this country garden in Bramshaw in the New Forest. Designed by
the Rich Brothers of Rich Landscapes & built by Paul Cass Landscapes, this one is perfect for some serious country garden inspiration.
