This is lovely spot by the river and amongst the trees. The walled courtyard next to the house had loads of potential but was a bit unloved, the clients not really knowing how to develop it.
The clients wanted to incorporate this lower section into the main courtyard.
An old concrete and block structure that was to be incorporated into the design...
Old and overgrown steps were to be redesigned....
The clients wanted a contemporary design in keeping with the room of the house that looked out over the courtyard. They also wanted lots of useable seating space and very low maintenance planting.
During the build.
A pergola and seat transform the old block structure, which needed to be kept as it helps support the main garden wall.
The walls were cleaned and painted, which add reflected light back into the courtyard.
The nearly completed paving and steps down to lower part of the garden.
What an amazing transformation so far...there is still some work to be done as well as the planting which should happen in April...
