What makes a town garden feel like a true green oasis? Top London garden designers, Charlotte Rowe and Tomoko Kawauchi of Charlotte Rowe Garden Design, show us how the smallest details – in the paving, pathways and seating areas – can completely transform a space.

This family garden has no lawn, but it has something far more interesting – layers of design detail that turn it into a journey of hidden seating areas and evolving spaces.
