Levels and Light

When we first visited this garden it was almost impossible to measure to the back as there was a laurel hedge about 3 metres deep by 3 metres high.  The sides were dominated by thick leylandii hedges.  The garden was already on two levels created by huge boulders and there were slippery decking clad steps up to a scrap of lawn that was difficult to mow.  The client wanted to open it up and modernise it to tie in with a new modern kitchen renovation.  We took out all the hedges and fences and created a sleek modern look with rendered retaining wall, raised planters and a slate patio outside the kitchen.
