Garden Design and Construction
Astbury, Cheshire
Date: April – May 2020
Location: Astbury, Cheshire
Project: Garden design and construction
Description: Frustrated by the lack of appeal in their back garden, the client sought a transformation, particularly for the expansive bank side. Their vision included introducing captivating elements, notably a water feature, while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. To fulfill their desires, we proposed a dynamic design, incorporating sleek lines and modern features. Through strategic landscaping of this garden, situated in Astbury, Cheshire, the once dull space blossomed into a vibrant, eye-catching retreat, redefining outdoor living for the client.
Due to budget constraints we couldn’t quite do all to the design. But we’re able to keep the main feature the bank side and water feature and slightly alter the spec on the other areas. One big saving we were able to do was to keep the old Indian stone paving but had it cleaned up and repointed with resin. And we found some second hand stone to match to create the linking paths. And when all cleaned and pointed looks like new.
While we were installing the lawn edging we found a well buried in the garden. This was an old brick lined one probably original to the property when it was a farm barn. So the client thought we may as well embrace it. So we decided to build it up and make a feature of it, built with old brick to make it look as if it’s always been there.
Garden lighting was then added and all planting areas finished off with slate chippings for a contemporary finish
