  • This is a rear garden in Clapham with a brief to create areas that will capture the sun throughout the day, have all year colour and interest and be easy to maintain.
  • The raised brick beds provide an ideal planting medium for this garden that is rich in colour and structure. The beds have been built on-the-diagonal to give the illusion of widening the garden. Additional seating has also been integrated into the walls using a Indian sandstone capping.
  • For those keen sun-bathers the garden incorporate a central lawn area that helps to provide colour to the surround patio areas.
  • The garden has two main patio areas of Indian 'Sunburst' sandstone directly from the house and at the end of the garden. Again, laying the patios on-the diagonal has widen this garden.
  • The planting is luscious incorporating structure, all-year colour, and a haven for wildlife.
  • Additional structure and detailing has been achieved by introducing obelisks at key vantage points.

For those in the kitchen the garden has a comprehensive herb garden.
