| Steep bank |
| Low maintenance was paramount to this client. A difficult garden with a very steep bank to one side, which required fast growing ground cover plants. |
| Different views |
| The brief here was to create a mixed border at the bottom of a sloping garden, which is viewed at a distance from high above and close up at ground level. A backdrop of blue slate chips was used to provide contrast to planting and to hide the unsightly clay, stoney earth. |
| Shady border |
| The original border here was cleared to create a new planting scheme which would tolerate some shade from overhead trees. I used a mixture of shrubs and perennials, and underplanted with bulbs for year round colour. Bark chips complete the look and act as a weedblock for easy maintenance. |
