The design used a combination of formal and informal design styles to add interest to the garden and optimise the irregular shape.
Linking from the side garden to the rear of the house, interlocking terraces and walkways provided formal structure accompanied by box hedging, a water rill and cascade.
The existing sloping border was reshaped and terraced using retaining walls constructed of reclaimed stone from the garden. The wall also formed the start of the water rill in the form of a stepped cascade.
An informal lawn was designed to incorporate the existing plants and trees. An additional seating area was created around a specimen tree providing views across the garden to the house and terraces.
