Smaller private gardens

Bidborough

The focus of new family garden contained a Bakers summerhouse leading onto a porcelain paved area with a hot tub. To surround the hot tub area, low level rendered planters where constructed, and once planted, helped soften the hard landscaping. Ornamental grasses used in the planting scheme added height and provided a partial screen when viewed from the house.
Horizontal cedar slats were used throughout to visually improve the fence line and to provide screening for the children’s play area which included a climbing frame. A large level play lawn featured porcelain stepping stones, linking and allowing all weather access to the summerhouse and hot-tub area. The garden was complimented with a fully automatic irrigation system and up-lighting of key focal plants.
