Sunny garden with curved patioThis garden faces south east and was designed with a semi circular patio where the family enjoys sunny breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas in the summer.
The area was cleared, drained, top dressed with soil and reseeded in grass. Reclaimed paving slabs and locally sourced kerbing stones were used in the hard landscaping. |
The garden is sheltered from the prevailing wind and the poor rubbly soil next to the house provides good conditions for sun loving plants such as bearded iris and mediterranean herbs; sage, thyme and rosemary, which wouldn't cope in other areas where heavy clay dominates.
