Family Friendly in Holborough Lakes

This neat little corner garden set a number of design challenges. The triangular shaped plot was set on a slope, and also had a dominating access path leading to the back gate - which had to remain.
The client wanted to maximise the space for eating out, as well as creating spaces for play for a young family to enjoy

​The final design extended the existing terrace, creating detail with the addition of new sett edging. The lawn area was re-graded to create a level play area and the new hardwood deck steps up from the lawn to provide an additional seating area to enjoy the afternoon sun.

To keep things simple, the planting was kept to a minimum, but included a line of low clipped hedging to soften the existing path edge and create a bold statement.
