Garden design and construction
A contemporary courtyard garden
We were responsible for the construction of this project, we worked alongside garden designer Paul Hadley who produced the design. The garden is a small enclosed courtyard area, separated from the main garden.
The client wanted to create a stunning seating area using water and planting to produce a tranquil environment.
​
The project included:
​
-
Constructing an L-shaped pool with stepping stone paving appearing to float above the water
-
A stainless steel blade is built into one of the decking pads circulating the water via a hidden pump and filter
-
Buff coloured, sawn and shot blasted sandstone used for all paving
-
Softwood timber decking with LED lighting built into the sides
-
Two raised planters built from concrete blockwork, rendered and painted, with matching buff sandstone used as coping
-
A gravel area, laid using gravel stabilisation grids
