Project story

The brief

A flat front lawn and a narrow concrete path that did nothing for the house. The owners wanted kerb appeal, a proper route to the door and planting that looked good from the street.

What we did

We replaced the path with a wider natural-stone walk, removed most of the lawn, and planted layered beds with specimen trees, evergreen structure and seasonal flowering shrubs either side.

The result

A front garden with year-round structure, a generous entrance and far less mowing — and a house that now sits in its setting instead of on a patch of grass.
