The Courtyard Stream

The Brief

A full garden design in Cumbria which contained some of the most ambitious elements to date.

The Concept

Centrepiece of the project was a four-metre diameter natural stone mosaic patio which interacted with the stream at different levels.

The pond has a cavern rocky look to it on this project and the depth achieved was ideal. This water feature provides both the welcoming entrance to the front of the house and the space to relax and entertain further up the stream. There's a variety of waterfalls in this water feature, a multiple broken waterfall at the top of the stream, a singular grand entrance waterfall which spills into the pond, and some smaller falls along the flatter section of the stream.

The tailored seasonal planting scheme will provide interest, colour and scent throughout the year. There's a wave of Lavender which frames the entrance of the mosaic patio, providing the scent to relax by and three Cotinus stand tall in the rocky bank and give a lovely rich colour leaf.
