The L-shape of this garden provided an opportunity to create interesting lines of sight and different areas. The brief was to create a beautiful space that can be enjoyed at all times of the day, for entertaining guests and to be relatively low maintenance. The timber sleepers were used to help make a feature of a sunken patio where there was once an awkward slope. The sleepers then continue around the rest of the garden to ensure the different areas are linked together and there is an overall sense of unity.
