A traditional family garden in Exeter

This garden is next door to the previous garden.

The clients were a couple with an active young family. They wanted a garden in which they could relax and entertain at the same time as their children were playing .

The garden design solution was to use the very steep slope to our advantage. By constructing a retaining across the garden we naturally divided the garden into two levels.

On the top level, nearest the house, we created a peaceful space for the adults complete with a patio (left) and small wildlife pond.

While in the bottom level, below and behind the rose the covered picket fence, the children had room for their Wendy House, rabbit hutch and games.
