Walled garden

Creating a garden design and landscaping for this garden was one of our all-time favourites because of the landscaping detail. The only requirement of the client was to still have her washing line somewhere but apart from that we had free reign on the garden design and build.

We wanted the garden to be relatively low maintenance so that Marion was able to tend to her plants. For the landscaping, we included a mixture of materials from London Stone and created two seating areas, raised borders, cladded in split faced tiles and copings. 

We built the garden at a 45-degree angle, in order to take the view away from a telegraph pole located on the right-hand side of the garden.

The beautiful brick wall, which was originally covered, was exposed and re-pointed. An existing Wisteria was also pruned and tied back in. To capture and reflect the light and planting, we hung two large mirrors on the walls.

Gravel and stepping stones were added to make it easy to navigate on hard standing throughout the garden. 

The beautiful planting scheme included colourful perennials such as Gaura, Verbena, Salvia, Echinacea and evergreen Ilex crenata balls which will give all year-round interest and an irrigation system was added to ensure that everything is kept well-watered.
