To replace the existing dated brickwork and paving in this waterside garden with a fresh, new, bold design, incorporating a seating area and gazebo.
Purbeck stone was used to form dry-stone serpentine walls, which wrap around the uprights of the large gazebo and also act as raised planters. The limestone flagstones are set off with hand-cut black limestone edgings, which also create a striking visual divide between the two similar toned materials of the walling and the patio.
With a garden that has this much exposure to the elements, a lot of thought needs to go into the planting scheme. Extensive use of grasses and palms are the backbone of the layout with perennials such as sea asters, armeria maritima and agapanthus providing colour throughout the summer months.
