Garden Design & Construction West Sussex - Boi Project

A 3 story town house with North facing garden in West Sussex. Apart from early morning and late evening sun this garden is prodominantly in shade, cast from the house.  Due to this the lawn was patchy and would hold water for long periods of time.  The client was looking for a paved area to allow for better evening dining, and due to lengthy stays away from the home, was also looking for something with minimum maintenance.

The lawn was replaced with Indian Sandstone Paving, and close to the house a new drainage system was installed to collect and control the water run off.

A small town garden

The clients were looking to replace their old patio that had sunk and broken up over a number of years.  Being a small town garden we reduced the patio in size slightly as it was dominating the garden.  This also allowed the clients children a bit more valuable playing space. 

We replaced with a new natural stone paving to give the area a cleaner and more modern feel.  A recess cover was installed to allow to an un sightly manhole to be hidden in the lawn.
A new panel fence was also erected to replace and old fence that had seen better days.
