Our client’s home was a conversion to existing buildings belonging to a larger estate. The garden was made up ground, artificially raised in level by the developers. With this comes a legacy of compacted ground and drainage issues, so common with developments. To create a successful garden, we had to understand the underlying problems and address them as part of the scheme. Land drains were installed, and surface pans were removed. Planting beds were cultivated, and soil ameliorants and drainage aids incorporated. One year later, the garden was thriving and flourishing because of the experience and knowledge of the team and the preparatory works to remedy the existing issues.
Red cedar and yellow balau timber add a rich colour to the space, picking up tones of the original Cheshire brick in the property. Minimal maintenance as both are hard wearing and durable.
Strong planting to create form and texture with a pink and purple theme working well against the painted fence. Trachycarpus create an exotic atmosphere, perfect for relaxing.
Subtle lighting extend the experience into the night and adds another dimension in the evenings – cosy and intimate
