Project: The Contemporary Garden
This is a large rear garden of a new build property in Great Lumley, County Durham. The brief from the client was simple, to create a beautiful low maintenance garden with a contemporary feel in keeping with the style of the property. The plot was an unusual shape and sloped away to the far corner.
To add interest the main layout of the garden was set at 45 degrees to the house. This allowed for 2 different seating areas for different times of the day. The one at the rear was constructed slightly lower and was flanked by 2 raised planting areas to give it a more secluded feel than the main entertaining area. The raised planters were constructed of stone to match the house and were shaped to mirror the shape of the garden.

PROJECT COMPLETED:
“From the initial design consultation, you fully understood what we were after and the first design concept was exactly what was built. The works were undertaken meticulously and extremely professionally, with the attention to detail second to none. Problem areas such as integrating the many manhole covers, level changes and weird shape of the area were all addressed and the price quoted was what we paid. We have more work to undertake in the near future and will only consider using Garden Sanctuaries."
