Greenfield, Flitton

Design, Planting

Front and back garden design in Flitton featuring integrated water features, defined outdoor areas and wildlife-friendly planting as the garden becomes established.

This front and back garden project in Flitton brought together thoughtful design, practical hard landscaping and wildlife-friendly planting. The layout was carefully planned to create clearly defined areas, while two existing water features were successfully integrated into the overall scheme. As the planting establishes, the original design vision is now being realised, with increased interest, movement and wildlife throughout the garden. Close involvement during both the design and build stages ensured a smooth delivery and a high-quality finish the owners can enjoy for years to come.

Susan Young received two Silver Awards at the 2025 Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) Awards for her work at Greenfield, Flitton, marking a significant professional achievement within a highly competitive industry.

In the Designer category (projects under £75,000), the project was recognised for its considered design approach, strong functionality, and high-quality execution. The scheme successfully balanced visual appeal with practical use, demonstrating how well-planned landscape design can deliver meaningful transformation while working within a defined budget.

Susan also achieved Silver in the APL Collaboration category, which recognises excellence in partnership working between designers, contractors, and clients. This award reflected the strength of communication, coordination, and shared vision throughout the delivery of the Greenfield, Flitton project, from initial concept through to completion.

Receiving Silver in two categories in the same year highlights both the design quality and collaborative strength behind the project, further reinforcing Susan’s standing for delivering thoughtful, well-executed landscape schemes.

“After interviewing 3 prospective designers for the front and back gardens of our home in Flitton, we chose Susan Young design. Susan understood the brief and had some great design ideas which integrated two water features that we had brought from our previous home and developed a planting scheme that encouraged wildlife and birds back into the garden. The hard landscaping design gave us the defined areas we requested in the brief and now that the planting is becoming established the vision behind the design is coming to fruition. Susan recommended three hard landscaping companies to price the final scheme., The company that secured the works are locally based and proved to be an excellent choice, carrying out the work to a high standard in the agreed four week period. We are very pleased with the service received during both the design and delivery periods from Susan Young Design.”
