secluded side garden
the gift of a garden
Our client had an unused side garden and decided to have it revamped as a gift.
Used as a washing green and bordering the dogs' kennels the garden was ready for a complete facelift.
the brief
We were asked to create a tranquil, restful space with secluded seating and a water feature.
Our client was happy to say goodbye to the lawn and see us address the slope with more interesting, lower maintenance materials.

the new garden design
- design :: the design is based on a series of sweeping curves to maximise the space and generate a lingering, enjoyable journey through the garden.
- path :: the winding, twisting path is edged with low walls which retain the soil as the garden slopes. The path is topped with light coloured 'hoggin', a very compact, easy-to-walk-on material.
- fountain :: a simple circular pool is brought to life with an arching water fountain. It is built from pale stone which adds to the soft, light style of the garden.
- sheltered seating :: at the top of the garden a curved wall adds shelter to the secluded seat, the perfect viewpoint to enjoy the new garden.
- planting :: gentle swathes of soft, mixed planting throughout the garden provide all year interest.
