BEFORE

A contemporary garden design in Exeter

This is a small garden (approx. 17m x 13 m) on a severely sloping site, with two large storm drains bang in the middle.

The clients, keen but retired gardeners, were looking for a garden design, which dealt effectively and imaginatively with the slope and which created 'garden rooms', with areas to sit and entertain in.

Although low maintenance was important, they still wanted to enjoy a bit of 'pottering' in their garden.

The patio design is of particular interest as it uses thin strips of green slate to enliven and accentuate the pattern of the paving.

This contemporary garden was planted in August 2005, three weeks before this photo (right) was taken.
