Project Overview
A long, narrow garden that had been left to itself, redesigned so that its length became a sequence rather than a corridor.
- The challenge
- The garden ran nearly forty metres back from the house and fell unevenly across its width, so it drained towards the terrace instead of away from it. Years of unmanaged growth had shaded out most of the ground.
- Our approach
- Clearance came first, since almost nothing worth keeping was visible until it was done. The ground was relevelled to drain away from the house, and the length was broken into three connected areas — terrace, lawn and a planted end with a pergola — so the garden is read in stages rather than all at once.
- The result
- The garden is now used at both ends instead of only nearest the door, and it drains correctly for the first time.
Scope of work
Preparation
Full clearance, then relevelling across the width to establish a fall away from the house. New drainage and edging were installed before any surface went down.
Outdoor Work
A paved terrace sits directly off the house, laid to a fall with beds built into its edge. A timber pergola with a slatted roof anchors the far end, with built-in bench seating along two sides.
Planting
Layered borders run down both boundaries, planted for mature size so the garden narrows visually as it goes back. Lawn was laid in the central section once levels had settled.
Lighting
Low-level fittings light the path and terrace steps; three uplights sit within the borders. Cabling was run before paving and planting, so nothing needed lifting afterwards.
