Sloping Country Garden

The client wanted to add interest to this large sloping flower and shrub bed.  The specification was to include a paved seating area on the lower level of the garden to make the most of the evening sun and in order to be able to sit and enjoy different views of their garden from a new perspective.

A curved cobblestone pathway was laid on a full bed of mortar on a compacted hardcore base to provide access to the circular patio area.  It will also allow easy access to the centre of the large flower bed, for the convenience of the client as they wanted to plant the area themselves and it would be easier for them to maintain.

A pergola was constructed to bring the two areas of the garden together and to provide a focal point and some support for the scented flowering plants that will provide glorious colour from spring onwards next season.
