Small Garden

Originally this garden was almost completely paved with concrete slabs in straight rows.  The new owners wanted something more interesting and softer with, hopefully, a lawn.

There being a definite budget on this project, consideration had to be given to choice of any new materials; and removal costs of existing materials.

The chosen plan, removed some of the slab steps, to create a more interesting shape and an enlarged planting area.  A new diagonal seating area was constructed in a corner which catches the evening sun, and the inclusion of a lawn was achieved. A sloping site; retaining 'sleepers' making a successful barrier.
