The brief here was to transform a sloping, muddy, new build garden into an attractive, easy to access space. A shady spot to sit and clear routes around the garden were top priorities. Planting in the borders is in a riot of paint box colours with waist high planters for the client to grow their own flowers from seed.

features:

• A spacious ‘Trex’ composite deck runs across the back of the house.
• Wide, low steps provide easy access from the house into the garden.
• A corner pergola provides a shady seating area, whilst helping soften a neighbouring wall.
• Raised borders accommodate the slope of the land, and are planted to provide colour and structure all year round
• Waist high raised beds enable the clients to enjoy gardening, avoiding the need to bend.
• Wide, level  paths allow easy movement around the  garden.
• A lawn offers grandchildren the space to play.
• A bubbling water feature surrounded by a bed of perennials and grasses is positioned where the sound, colour and movement can be appreciated from the house.
