Making the most of an unused garden space.

We're now well into the final stages of our current garden design and build project. The final part includes implementing a design we created to make the most of a wasted area at the side of our clients house. the brief included creating an intimate area for seating to incorporate a new wood burner and areas for planting.

With the design agreed we set about clearing the space and starting to take the design from paper to garden.

Before:

           

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cleared including old fence to be replaced. Wooden edges used to mark out new footings for raised beds.

Block walls start to form the raised beds and wooden posts are built in for the wooden framework.

A different angle shows the two lower beds and pathway. next shot shows the same area, rendered and the new framework in place over the walls.

 

Walls with posts for framewrok.     Walls rendered and painted.

 

Walls painted and Mint Fossil sandstone paving starting to go down.

 

Rendered walls and paving    Hols 055

 

And, despite the rain just a final coat of paint, planting and lighting to be completed! A new area ready for the clients firepit and parties!

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"
