THE BRIEF

The brief brought together practical routes around the garden, space for outdoor seating and a timber pergola. Natural stone paving, gravel pathways and planting would give the space a softer feel, with a water feature adding a calming focal point.

THE DESIGN

Curved paths wrap around the central lawn and planting beds, connecting the house to the pergola seating area. The circular water feature draws the eye through the garden, while warm paving tones, timber and varied planting create a relaxed setting. Lighting adds interest around the planting and pergola after dark.

THE BUILD

We laid Raj Blend natural stone paving for the seating areas and stepping-stone routes, alongside compacted self-binding gravel paths. Metal edging defines the curved beds and pathways. The timber pergola provides structure around the seating area, with planting uplights and pergola lights completing the space.
