This garden had several established plants already in situ that the owners wanted us to incorporate into the scheme. It also had an existing pond, overgrown Lime trees, a Mahonia and Philadelphus. The Lime trees and Philadelphus at the back of the garden provide privacy and these were left in place but pruned to a more manageable shape. The other planting looked poorly but with food and the installation of an irrigation system it has all responded well and now reflects the vigour of the new planting. York stone paving was used for its beauty and permanence and plants that contrast each other in form as well as colour were added creating a palette that has interest all year round.
