The existing raised beds and pond were removed and the garden was levelled to make it feel more spacious. A pergola was erected in the furthest corner to provide a shady seating area and to act as a support for climbers. Canes were used on the 'roof' of the pergola to provide diffused shade until climbers get established. The central area of the garden was paved with an attractive octagonal feature set in random riven paving, that blends into gravel at the outer edges. A bubble water feature was installed in the gravel next to the pergola to provide a soothing and cooling sound from the gentle trickle of water. The surrounding walls were planted with attractive climbers and the gravelled area contains specimen planting, and random groups of larger pebbles and boulders to add texture and interest.

Front Garden:

The overgrown rockery leading to the front garden was cleared and replanted and was then blended in with the main front garden.

Further development:

Attractive pots with annuals or specimen plants could be added to paving in the back garden, and a garden bench or table and chairs would provide seating for eating outside and enjoying the fresh air on warm summer days.
