Country Garden, St Ives

This new-build back garden in the countryside outside St Ives was laid to scrubby lawn by the builders with just a rectangle of paving slabs.

 The client's design brief was for a very low maintenance garden to 'potter' in, and a pretty garden to sit in.  

 

 

 

Borders run around the garden with planting beds in the centre which - when the planting has established - will fill the garden with colour and interest and be easy to access and maintain.

 

The slope to rear of the garden will be tackled at a later date.

 

The paving provides lots of seating and 'pottering' space.
