The garden before:

Behind a traditional red brick Victorian house lays this surprisingly quiet south-facing walled garden.

Accessed either via a wrought iron gate from the drive or from the back of the house, the previous garden was blocked from view behind a low brick wall.

It had the typical straight path running the length of the garden, making it look quite long and narrow, and most the garden was laid to lawn with narrow borders running along each side.

There was a very small terraced area in poor condition.

The brief:

To create a garden with a more interesting shape, that would be easy to maintain and with plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining in.
