A front garden
| Pleasing angular design for
a front garden based on directional changes of 45, 90 and 135 degrees
built on different levels and featuring a combination of reclaimed
and good quality replica materials. This is a garden open to view
from the road with the log sleeper steps leading up from the pavement
to the first level where wood gives way to block laid pre-cast replica
brick. |
 |
| The polygonal shapes of the
hardwood railway sleepers from an assertive channel for the watercourse.
The channel bed consists of flat slate scree and the retaining wall
is straight edged dressed York Stone. The planting scheme is underway
allowing for plant growth over the wall edge softening the effect. |
|
| The sleeper edged lower pool makes for a strong statement bringing the sound of water into the garden emerging through the dressed York stone retaining wall. The steps continue turning through 135 degrees past the stone trough to the second level consisting of replica York stone edged with brick. Sleepers become a recurring theme, set flush with the surface infilled with cobbles thus creating foil for the paving. The distant terracotta urn forms a focal point out of which water tumbles into the upper and lower pools. Varities of juniper, holly, fuschia and some architectural planting surrounds the strone trough awaiting planting up with alpines. | |
