Anne and Mike decided to give their farmhouse courtyard a full design work through as it was looking a little forlorn, unloved and lost.
Walls were removed, a new boundary wall installed and internal walls clad in light oak stained lath screening to give a sleek contemporary flow, replacing cracked and flaking render.
Modak rose paving replaces the drab concrete print paving previously installed and a sustainable but aesthetic wildlife friendly planting is now place for a central planted bed and outer raised beds, which includes Agapanthus, Astrantia, Penstemon, Salvia, Eryngium, Crocosmia, Geranium, Geum, Heuchera , Hosta and much more.
The pergola rises out of the planting to link the outbuildings to the new garden. Clothed in Lonicera, Clematis, Parthenocissus and Trachlospernum.
A millstone waterfeature also now trickles away and a glass screen lets the outside in using the borrowed landscape beyond.
Finally pots dotted here and there complete this design.
Slide the handles across to see the before and afters of the garden.
