Private client - Selby, North Yorkshire
My client's brief for this garden was easy, the garden is on two levels and they wanted a dining area with a walk way to the garage, where the motorbikes are kept. They love the contemporary feel and wanted us to mix it up with cottage and Mediterranean planting.
The lower garden had an inbuilt hardwood decking area, set into porcelain pavers. These were slightly pink in colour, as this is a favourite of the client. We designed white raised planters that were rendered and painted, then planted with a mixture of evergreen and cottage plants. Two giant Olive trees were set in at a slightly lower level in the middle of the walkway to the garage. Copper strips were added to the edges of the patio where the Olive trees stood and can be illuminated at night.
Different coloured contrasting pavings add definition to the areas. The addition of a contemporary water feature and pizza oven were included to the lower area for outside dining.
