The turf is now down and all the landscaping completed (see the before photos in the previous blog post). The new steps take you up into the garden. The oil tank has been disguised with trellis for climbers.
The new path winds up the slope through the lawn and past a new circular bed for an existing Acer that the client wanted to keep in position.
The old wall has been transformed as a raised bed for roses, that is the backdrop for the new terrace.
The new terrace leads out into the rest of the garden and is surrounded by borders.
The greenhouse has been given a new lease of life with a timber retaining wall pushing back the ground level to create a new wide path around the greenhouse, and raised borders for herbs.
At the back of the greenhouse timber steps take advantage of the raised level, and take the path up the top corner of the garden, allowing the client to walk a complete circuit of the garden by pathway.
The old concrete path needed to stay in place because of pipework beneath but has been transformed by paving.
The old dilapidated veg beds have been replaced with contemporary timber veg boxes with a pergola for climbers.
The client now has their wish, to be able to plant up a garden in their own time and putting in all their favourite foliage plants for flower arranging.
What a beautiful space to be able to do this in!
