Our clients were new to the area, having moved back after many happy years living in Jersey with a real desire to make their new place feel home from home. They called us in to begin work re-designing the garden even before they had completed on the house sale, such was the priority of getting the garden fit for purpose.
The brief was to create different zones for seating with walkways in between and remove the natural gradient of the site by creating level terracing. There would be a definite nod to the Mediterranean with a long pergola stretching across the rear of the property and white rendered walling throughout. The design process was fun. Pinterest pictures proliferated! Ideas bounced to and fro between us until we finally arrived at finished on the walkway garden design. The result, a beautifully sculpted well ordered garden, an extension of their home that feels so much bigger with the different levels. A garden that will only improve with age as the shrubs develop especially the gorgeous multi-stem amelanchier in pride of place at the end of the decking walkway. Wonderful stuff!
