Gardens here
Mix of older properties around the village core and modern estates spreading toward Hill Head and Lee. Family-scale gardens, partly sheltered from the worst of the coastal exposure but still salt-influenced on south-facing aspects — see building for the salt cycle for what that changes in the spec. Plot sizes typically generous. Underneath, Stubbington sits within the same coastal-plain clay-silt-sand belt as neighbouring Gosport, with made ground turning up on some of the newer plots nearer the shore; worth checking with a trial hole, the same principle covered in soils across the Solent.
Working the area
Fifteen to twenty minutes from the studio. Frequent work in the broader Lee / Stubbington / Hill Head triangle.
Material decisions
Full studio palette with attention to salt exposure on south-facing aspects. Coastal-resistant planting where the garden sees the sea wind; conventional Hampshire palettes where shelter and aspect allow.
In practice
The studio archive doesn't yet feature a Stubbington project. Garden composition, Warsash 2025 is the nearest reference build for coastal-adjacent suburban work.
