'A Gardener's Retreat'

'mini make-over'

'Andy & Lou have completely transformed our ancient tired patio.  Their attention to detail is phenomenal and their shared creativity a joy!  This is the 3rd patio built by Andy and complements the other two perfectly.  This great team will soon be dismantling our old rotton veg beds & building three new ones, to their design, which will complete the area beautifully.  Thank you so much Andy & Lou for all your hard work & creative flair!'

(Carol & Heather Liversidge - Bournemouth)

Carol & Heather called upon Haven Spaces having had other areas of their garden landscaped by us, to rejuvenate the 'working' part of the garden & a tranquil place to 'retreat' to their summer house!

'Before'

Tired paving with an overgrown jasmine planted in the centre.  In need of a make-over to create a working space thats a pleasure to be in!

'After'

We kept the area where the jasmine was & created a circle of Sandstone Setts that contrasted well with the straight lines & it will provide a space for the jasmine to flourish or another chosen shrub/climber.

The summer house now feels part of the space & has a lovely sleeper fronted step, which will tone in with the new sleeper beds (Phase 2 of this build).  The paving also continues up the side of the summer house.

Using Indian Sandstone Buff Blend, which had some beautiful varying contrasting colours & edging with Sandstone Setts to transition with the existing side path.

Oak sleepers frame this area neatly & contain various shrubs to prevent them spilling onto the new patio area.  Golden shingle was used in between the sleepers & paving to both help with drainage & give a neat finish.
