Small town garden
Redesign of a small urban garden in surrey
Following the recent renovation of this townhouse the view of the garden was framed by large bifold doors. With a small lawn and narrow side borders the garden followed a classic design which developers tend to install in new houses but was not providing much colour or interest.
The new design removes the lawn entirely, replacing it with gravel interspersed with planting, and stepping stones providing a practical route to the back gate as the client uses this as the main access for the house.
The planting focused on featuring different textured foliage and shades of green with perennials and shrubs providing a long flowering season to add colour.
The result is a practical and attractive Mediterranean style gravel garden.
The new design replaces the impractical small lawn and narrow borders with a gravel garden featuring deep layers of planting to add more colour and texture
