A low maintenance garden

 

We were tasked to create a formal garden for a ground-floor apartment in East Yorkshire which needed to blend with the Georgian details of the surrounding architecture.

 

For the upper level we created a series of raised beds which allows our client to garden without fear of back ache – planted to ensure a minimum of ongoing maintenance is necessary. This is viewed from a hardwood deck or from a breakfast terrace, accessed down a short run of steps to the lower level. A Georgian urn provides a focal point for the entire space.
