This low maintenance garden creates a contemporary space using modern materials. It offers a patio area with terracotta pots, the timber decking provides additional seating and has an arbor overhead to give height. The climbing plants provide privacy and there is no lawn! Grey slate chipping's and seashore gravel were used to provide different shapes and textures and aluminium edging strips designated the 'pockets' for planting. The soft landscaping included evergreen planting with specimen, architectural and flowering plants to soften the hard landscaped area. The blend of colour and plant foliage create harmony in the maintenance free outdoor living space.
