The
clients had recently had a conservatory built and they wanted to have a
beautiful garden to admire from there. Excavations from the build of
the conservatory had been dumped into the garden so this needed
addressed. The rest of the sloping back garden was pretty uninspiring
with a lot of lawn and very narrow borders tucked underneath the
existing hedge. The clients still wanted some borders to look after but
didn't want to be a slave to them. They wanted a main seating area to
entertain family, as well as a smaller morning patio. The various level
issues needed to be addressed.

| " We
are truly delighted with the result and are very appreciative of the
co-operative and considerate manner in which you carried out the work. " |
| The
garden was levelled considerably, providing an easier space to stroll
around. A deck around the conservatory was chosen to overcome the level
issues directly outside the conservatory. The walkway leads into the
decked morning patio with beautiful ballistrade. A curving path,
constructed in gravel leads to the main patio built in
Heritage
Yorkstone. The entrance to the main patio is framed with two standard
photinias. New
borders were created using curving lines, leading you around the
garden. Planting was colour themed with beds of pinks, purples and
whites. Winter interest was introduced through planting such as fatsia
japonica and viburnum. The
lawn was replaced and given a new, curvy shape, creating interest and a
journey around the garden. An
area was created where the clients will place a sculpture of their
choice, providing a glimpse of something interesting in the distance,
from their viewing spot in the conservatory. Lighting
around the deck, patio and the sculpture gives the garden a real wow
factor at night as well as allowing the space to be used well into the
evening.

A
bespoke raised trough to the side of the patio, planted with lavender,
provides great aromas and additional seating. A matching raised bed
creates a modern, easy to tend veg patch. A
row of containers at the back of the patio creates a visual boundary to
the utility area beyond.
