THE BRIEF
To create a garden with a wow factor to match the style of the property and its location.
The client wanted to make their outdoor space somewhere that could be enjoyed, a place to relax and entertain. The garden incorporates a sunken firepit with generous seating, a wild flower meadow bank with several bug hotels/habitats, an ample lawn, kitchen garden with space to grow various fruit, herbs, vegetables and cut flowers.
THE DESIGN
From the client’s brief we were able to design a luxurious bespoke sunken fire pit area including cedar benching, rustic moroccan tiling, opulent mediterranean planting and a two tiered porcelain clad raised pond with water blade and shelf to accommodate a variety of aquatic plants.
We supplied and installed lawn, fencing, metal edging, sleeper retaining walls, wood chip path, soil, trees, planting, hedging, wildflower bank with bug habitats, raised sleeper, cut flower, herb, vegetable and fruit beds, a circular raised brick bed, pond and gravel.
Plants
The planting was mainly structural with mixed herbaceous plants.
