Project 78

Rustic front garden

The Brief

Clients had been offered a proposal by another contractor to refurbish the front garden with sleepers. Unhappy with this, we were asked to make it a bit more interesting and pleasing to view, but low maintenance with no grass.

The Concept

A clear budget and brief allowed us to create a natural curved retaining wall with raised planting through membrane and bark. A lower area of "Dougie mix" gravel was softened with a smaller shrub bed and random rockery stones to create a stylish front garden exactly to brief.
