The client although have a very well kept garden wanted a change and an improvement of what they had. So they asked me to design them a new garden and also include redoing the the front drive and make it slightly bigger. So I came up with design. So with some minor adjustments a budget was agreed and work commenced.
The client wanted a small extension to her patio, just enough room for a couple of seats, somewhere that would catch the evening sun, but also wanted the ugly gravel boards to be covered up. This we did with a small sleeper retainer, the perfect back drop to a new patio done with large grey Indian stone edged with charcoal block pavers and finished with resin joint filler for a contemporary look.
The client had a large area of the garden supported with sleeper walls which had become rotten and in danger of falling down. There was also a large decked area which was rotten and slippery so was very dangerous to walk on. It all had to be replaced.
The client was sick of how messy his front entrance looked with the conifers so overgrown. So we cleared the old conifers out and felled the ash tree. We then cleared the ground to give us a blank canvas. We planted a new hedge of Prunus Lusitanica.
After previously designing and building a contemporary back garden for this client she asked me to do the front garden. With a totally different look this time. She had in mind something that is wildlife friendly. And came to me with a picture of a dry garden she found in a magazine. Other than that had no idea what to include in it. She didn’t want a plan producing but asked me to think about it and come back with ideas.
The client wanted to revive there garden and add a new sitting area in the garden that would get the sun in the day right through to evening. So with this in mind they asked me to design the garden for them. As you see from the design I added new paving to the area already used as the patio.
The client was tired of how messy her front garden looked. She wanted 2 different types of gravel with minimal easy maintenance planting, so the old garden was cleared away. We kept the two conifers in the corner and gave them a nice trim.
After previously landscaping a lot of the garden the client decided it was time the patio was updated from the tired old paving. So we designed and laid the new paving out of large Indian stone, with even more room for planting.
The clients recently moved into the house but the garden had been neglected for some time. They had no idea what, if anything, could be done with a small space…
The client was sick of how featureless and boring the back garden looked. But wasn’t sure what to do with it but definitely wanted something interesting done to the large bank side. Including a water feature. And wanted a contemporary look.
