Rugby Road
Our client wanted a small patio area to enjoy the sun later in the day. Our design reclaimed the curved lawn but smartened it by adding a pebble path. New herbaceous planting went in, along with some new climbers to bring colour and scent to this previously un-used bit of the garden.
Park Crescent - basement level
A block of concrete capped with old slabs meant our clients looked out of their kitchen onto a wall. By removing the structure, narrowing the steps and laying re-claimed york stone we created a lovely sheltered useable space. (Safety hand rails went in after this photo was taken.)
Park Crescent - ground level
The ground level area was re-modelled with smart retaining walls for raised beds and leaving plenty of room for entertaining friends. The raised beds were planted with climbers including Wisteria, Clematis, Akebia quinata and under-planted with a low growing lavender. (Safety rails were fitted after this photo was taken.)
Bonchurch Road
A west facing garden designed for entertaining. Shade from the sun was created with the timber and steel cable pergola. The neat stainless steel-edged lawn compliments the welsh green slate creating a stylish modern feel.
Chester
Terrace - front garden
Evergreen screening was introduced to give privacy. A formal hedge was discounted in favour of using 2 different evergreens, broken up with the use of a purple leaved smoke bush and a scented winter flowering Viburnum by the gate post. Red stems of dogwoods add interest in winter and an underplanting of heucheras adds flower power.
Waldegrave Road - rear garden
The aim was to create a plant-lovers garden that the clients could see develop over the years. Space was left for them to add plants as and when they wanted. Some plants were selected for their merit in attracting beneficial wildlife to compliment the informal pond, which with careful use of mirrors on the walls appears to flow through the garden.
Waldegrave Road - front garden
Mixed tree, shrub and herbaceous planting provide all year interest and breathes life into this front garden that had previously been laid to concrete. The cobbles allow water to drain properly and don’t require concrete foundations.
