This was a design for a small garden for a new build town house, overlooked by a care home.   Whilst it was impractical to screen this out entirely, new hedging in a raised bed along the boundary and a corner pergola created a sense of privacy.

​

The clients had recently purchased a water feature in the form of a stone sphere, so I gave this pride of place next to a small deck seating area.  New paving was installed and transitioned to a rear gravel area with stepping stones leading to a further, shady, sitting area.  A bin store was positioned on the rear of the house to hide the bins away.  

​

The front garden was narrow and difficult to mow, not least due to uneven levels and prominent inspection covers.  To complement the house I designed a symmetrical layout with decorative pavers into which topiary shapes in lead-style containers were placed.
