Levels upon Levels
This garden had three different levels with a huge amount of the garden taken up with the grass slopes between each level. The client wanted paving and a patio – but everything else was up for discussion….
Looking out the back doors into the garden at the slopes
Therefore I proposed putting in retaining walls in order to ‘free up’ some of the land / space that was locked up in the slopes. The retaining walls were just one part of the design – the other part was curves to lead you from one side of the garden to the other. The retaining walls didn’t completely suit the client – as with young children, the retaining walls would lend itself to many blind spots in the garden. Therefore a compromise was reached and the plans are beginning to take shape….
The patio will be sunk into the first slope so that the patio isn't too close to the house
Now the hard landscaping has been finished, we’re just waiting for the springtime to implement the planting plan!! So it looks a bit bare – but check back in the spring for more updates on this garden…
Here is what it looks like now…
