A small back garden in Lasswade overlooking the River Esk designed around a new extension.
Our clients had recently completed an extension to the back of their house and asked us to design a garden they could enjoy from their new patio windows and which made sense of their new space.
They were particularly keen to have a wildlife friendly plant filled space, loving the garden we had created for another family member.
The new design features a dining patio surrounded by borders filled with colourful plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies and a formal raised pond to attract birds and other wildlife. Angled paths join the patio to the side of the house and the new extension.
A large dining patio next to the raised pond has space for our client's table and chairs. The paving is a mix of black slate and a contemporary buff slab. It's surrounded by planting borders filled with Hebe 'Nicola's Blush', Persicaria 'Inverleith', Franchoa sonchifolia and Thalictrum 'Thundercloud'.
