Plant Lovers Garden

This modern house on a small estate had a plain open plan lawn with no flower beds and a 'builders' path laid right up against the house.

'Before' images and Client brief

Designing a garden for someone who loves plants is always a pleasure, however as this was a front garden it had to be practical and easy to maintain. Very uninspiring garden.

 

The drive was widened to allow cars to be parked side-by-side and allow easy access.Modern House with plain front garden. A brick edged gravel path leads you from the driveway to the front door, sweeping on beyond the bay window past flower beds filled with seasonal shrubs and herbaceous planting.

Natural sandstone was used for the paving around the front door and continues through the gravel path to add interest at ground level.
