A small Victorian garden Site Description: The small urban wedge-shaped garden (3m x 11m) with a slight slope and was bounded on two sides by imposing garages. The Brief: To create a Victorian style garden and re-use the original victorian pavers. The client needed access to the back gate and garage at the end of the garden. The Design: The space was used to the maximum, and gently terraced to take advantage of the slope. The existing lawn with large holly bush was replaced by a gravel terrace, and planted up with sun loving plants such as lavenders, roses and geraniums. A warm terracotta paint colour was used on the house and garage walls to unify the garden. The existing industrial metal steps to the end garage were replaced by more pleasing timber ones and both garage buildings were screened using trellis, climbers and a Hupeh Rowan tree. The small damp paved area by the house was enlarged and transformed into an elegant seating area; incorporating a traditional water feature which was planted around with shade loving ferns and hostas. A pergola links the kitchen to the garden, creating structure as well as shade in the hotter parts of the day. Back to Garden contents Next Garden	BEFORE	AFTER
