This garden was created to replace an area of lawn which attracted no insects to the garden and looked dry and unhealthy during the hot summer months. 

​

We re-contoured this area of the garden, levelling off the 'lawn' area and adding a 60cm high retaining stone wall with three steps down to the path at the lower section. 

​

Gravel was used to replace the lawn, with dense planting in the gravel, with plants selected for their hardiness to both drought and low winter temperatures. 

​

A water feature was created from an old tub found on site. 

​

Stones were embedded into the gravel to create informal pathways.
