This garden in Looe was a lovely space but had no colour or interest. It had a bare lawn, some overgrown shrubs and a hedge....viewed from the clients' balcony above it was very boring...
The design had to provide colour and interest, smaller lawn space, give access to an existing shed, and deal with a significant level change...
During the build...
Following completion of the landscaping...what a complete transformation!
A central planting bed with a water bowl and water lily provide a real focal point to the garden...
Agapanthus are planted around the bowl...
Tumbled limestone sett edging defines the gravel paths and borders, as well as framing the new smaller lawns...
New borders wrap around and soften the existing patio's hard edge...
A new pergola with climbers provides interest to the existing steps that take you down to the gardens' lower level...
The existing laurel hedge was kept and pruned as it provides a lovely green backdrop to the garden...
To finish some lovely words from the clients' say it all...
"Our existing garden was drab and colourless. We wanted a garden with colour, low maintenance and pleasing on the eye. This is exactly what Sarah has given us. We are delighted with all aspects of the garden. Sarah has managed the whole project from design through to planting, with further advice for maintenance. Thank you."
