Gravel garden full of evergreen shrubs, grasses and long-flowering perennials created to replace existing fully paved area. Enough slabs remain for table and chairs and stepping stones through.

A front border that wrapped right around this corner plot house was overgrown with long grass and clumps of plants put in by the developers. We took out the grass and replaced with gravel, repositioned the suitable existing plants and added more to provide year around colour and structure. Maintenance is now much easier.

This garden was sloping steeply away from house with a retaining round post wall that was failing (please scroll to end for before photos). We extended the patio on an angle into the garden, created new wide steps and a lower utility patio area for firepit / DIY etc, as well as pergola over the last spot in the garden for evening sun. The lawn was edged with oak sleepers so that the lawn could be more level. Suitable plants were added to create year around colour and interest with grasses, and sun-loving perennials against the warm west-facing garage wall and shade-tolerant grasses, ferns and shrubs along the north-facing fence. Designed and planted by Green Eye Gardens, hard landscaping in conjunction with Mark Goodman Landscapes.

Before / after photos and design plan for a rectangular south-facing garden. The garden has a sandstone patio near the house for dining, a circular sandstone cobble edged lawn linked to a cobble path which leads down to a utility patio in front of the shed for barbecues and bike maintenance. Garden is planted with ornamental edible plants 'edimentals' such as herbs, Monarda, Echinacea, Nepeta, Cynara etc.

Autumn pictures of a bed we planted in March. The bed had been previously planted with a box hedge which was suffering from blight and caterpillar moth (see pic 2). We removed the hedge and replanted with half standard Elaeagnus to bring some structure and formality. Other plants include Nandina, Nepeta, Liriope, Astrantia and Hydrangea. The orange dust is curry powder to try and distract the squirrels from the bulbs we added. Last picture shows bed as it looks when first planted.
