| The awkward angle of the house
and path disguised by repeating terracotta pots,
adding soft, co-ordinating planting and widening

movement) and replacing it with a pergola and
more generous paving (which encourages movement).
The pots provide foreground interest. back to top |

| A new house needed some separation
of space between the drive and front door, whilst
maintaining vehicle access for unloading when
necessary. A change of materials was devised
to create a garden ambience close to the house,
discouraging parking except when needed. back to top |

| A magnificent Wellingtonia and
spreading Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) tower above

| The existing planted impeded a
view to fields beyond the end boundary. Steps

to stay below a visual line from the house.
A small path between the hedge and planting
allows sloping access for the mower but is much
less apparent. back to top |
