| The two new patios linked together really well and were finished off with beautiful mixed planting. |
The
existing lawn was kept but reduced in size to allow for more
interesting and usable features to be incorporated. The soul-less old
patio was replaced with a contermporary new limestone patio, perfect
for a morning coffee. To the side of this area trellis panels and an
archway entrance were built to screen an area for the wheely bins. The
trellis was planted with some lovely honeysuckle which will both cover
the trellis and hide the bins but also provide a nice fragrance.
The
same limestone slabs as used in the patio were placed in the lawn to
encourage you to explore the rest of the garden. A second patio was
created using the limestone again, in a sunny corner of the garden.
Further screening was built around this area for privacy.
The
existing fence was given a fresh coat of paint to bring it up to the
standard of the rest of the garden and create a lovely back drop to the
beautiful new planting. |

A
path was created around the conservatory using granite effect edging
blocks, timber effect sleepers and Cotswold Cream gravel. The planting
was a mix of trees and shrubs such as Sorbus aucuparia, acer
"Bloodgood", Magnolia lilliflora Nigra and Escallonia rubra creating a
permanent structure with lovely colours. This was complemented by
herbaceous planting such as mecanopsis, digitalis and geraniums.
