A front garden design for a steeply sloping site and plenty of cars

Our clients required a large drive and car parking space in front of their house but disliked the existing large expanse of featureless tarmac, which they had inherited on this steeply sloping site. They also found the unstructured borders and heavy clay based soil difficult to plant up and maintain.

The garden design used sweeping curves to link areas of retaining walls with slate on end coping, slate spirals and granite setts and cobbled paths, to create a visually exciting garden, which could also accommodate the client's cars.

We are delighted to say that this garden won a BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) National Award.
