design & build (phase 1)
'Andy & Lou have transformed my front garden from lawn and tarmac to such a stylish place that I can hardly believe it's mine! The design process was made easy, as they really listened to what I wanted, and were able to suggest ideas I would never have thought about. A total professional service from initial consultation to finish. My garden makes me happy now!' (Suzanne - Poole)
Front gardens are being more appreciated in recent times as it impacts your mood in being the first thing you see when you arrive home. This garden examples beautifully the detail which is depicted in the planting, textures & patterns. Secondly it provides practicality in the drive and pathway, privacy with the dividing ‘instant hedge’ and despite being a small space, its presents how you can include multiple elements; grass, cobbles, paving circle and plants that provide structure, scent, colour and interest throughout the year, which will also be easy to maintain!
A very aged & tired before photo…
Where two differing pointing materials contrast…
The varying beauty in the grey sandstone cobbles…
The instant hedge helping to frame the space…
Now so much to admire (a treasured rose of the clients now with its own bed).
A rustic stylish driveway with manhole cover nicely disguised… the client wanted to keep the passion flower as another reminder of past memories…
Lovely meeting of existing materials in the porch area…
Smaller cobbled path merging with the driveway…
The anticipation of Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’
