In this project our brief was; to create a raised lawned area with walled patio, replace and move existing shed, re-direct the fencing to gain extra space from the top of the drive, improve drainage. To raise the lawn, we created sweeping, rendered white, walls with soft planting behind. The patio was paved with black slate, sugesting a contempory look. The planting was comprised from a selection of specimen shrubs and perennials planted for all year round colour.
