A newly built home - an arts and crafts palette!

The builders left a blank canvas of bare land around the house! There was a change of level between the house and garden, and the ground sloped across the width of the site. My clients asked for a shady sitting area adjacent to the open fields at the back and no lawn at the front.

This design includes a strong ground pattern of three inter-linked circles in the front garden - the central circle having a mosaic inlay. In the back garden, a specially commissioned metal arbour was installed, and six sorbus trees trained over it to form both a strong feature and a shady retreat.
