Brief:
To update a tired looking courtyard which had an old raised deck and block paving floor. Access to a high level banked flower border was needed to allow easier access for maintenance and to a beehive.
Project:
Located in Dorking on the side of a steep bank the garden was challenging for access and also to make the best use of the different levels.
Oak sleepers were used to help retain the hillside banks, with a timber edged bark pathway leading up the bank between newly cultivated banks with topsoil and compost mix added prior to planting.
A brown painted deck area was replaced with a brand new wax treated deck area with new handrails and stainless steel wire balustrade to add a modern twist to a period courtyard.
On the lower level a new light coloured resin bound gravel surface was laid to modernise and brighten the area which is to be used as a dining and family entertaining space. New planting pockets where added to break up the area and soften the overall look.
