The
clients were looking for a completely revamped back garden to reflect
the stylish interior of their home and for somewhere that the family
could relax as well as entertain friends and wider family. There was a
tired old patio, a summerhouse which was no longer used and a large
trampoline which the children had outgrown. There was little to be kept
other than the boundary hedge, a couple of fruit trees and shrubs and
some of the lawn.

"WOW was the word that was repeated quite a few times as
we wandered round our beautiful garden at 2.30am this morning with a
torch when we returned from
our holiday!!! It is has exceeded our
expectations and are very much looking forward to spending time in it." |
The
area beside the garage was looking sad and tired and in desperate need
of a revamp. The old mono-brick patio was to be replaced with a
contemporary new limestone patio. The patio was then surrounded by
structured flower beds, filled with new planting. In the shady side
beside the garage wall ferns and hostas are pride of place. Elsewhere a
mixture of flowering shrubs, pretty herbaceous and contemporary grasses
complement the look. Four Betula jacquemontii trees make a real
statement at each corner of the patio, adding height and grandeur. The
stunning white bark of the trees will only improve with age.
The garage wall desperately needed addressed so a modern slatted
timber screen was created for the clients. This instantly transformed
the area and created a fabulous back drop to the new planting. The
screen gives a cosy yet contemporary feel to the new patio. A smaller
version of the screen was created to hide the clients' wheelie bins too. |

A
stylish boardwalk leads to the main new deck area, large enough for
relaxing and entertaining. Bespoke white rendered troughs give a
contemporary feel and are filled with lavender, providing a lovely
scent on the deck. Bespoke benches provide additional lounging space
for the family. The whole deck is surrounded with new pretty planting,
low maintenance shrubs and structural grasses.
