This urban back garden has been transformed into a private retreat for our wonderful client, where she and her beloved dog can retire in peace and quiet in a tranquil and serene space. We were amazed at the transformation – it’s difficult to imagine the space before. We used gorgeous sandblasted Sovereign pink sandstone for…
This unusual woodland garden is a little bit of magic hidden away in an urban setting. The slippery slopes of the garden are now navigated via a boardwalk which encircles the main planting area. A glade of woodland plants has been planted in a matrix style. The boardwalk leads to a deck which is positioned…
