Project: The sunken garden
This garden located in Lanchester, County Durham was severely overgrown and consequently very gloomy. The existing patio had seen better days and was not in the right place to enjoy the majority of the sun. The clients wanted a more open garden with plenty of space for planting, somewhere to enjoy the sun and to incorporate a shed and greenhouse.
The garden naturally fell away to the right so a circular sunken garden was suggested as a sitting area. The curves from this were then replicated for the paths to the greenhouse and shed. A curved dwarf stone wall was installed to deal with the slope and allow for a flat lawn area to the side of the greenhouse.

PROJECT COMPLETED:
“Our old garden was completely dug up and taken back to a blank canvass. We only had vague ideas about what we wanted but were delighted with Bob’s ideas and vision.
The standard of workmanship was excellent – the paving and brick paths are beautiful and curve nicely around the two circular seating areas. The garden has been opened up into a lighter and what now seems a much bigger area.”
