My Portfolio - Courtyard Garden Design

Brief

The clients wanted a low maintenance, dog-friendly courtyard. The garden was in a conservation area so the outbuilding and walls had to remain. More privacy was desired within the courtyard, which was to be used for sitting and relaxing. Some plants were required.

Designer’s solution

The grass was fully removed and a new double circular paving design was laid. Ropes were fixed in swags across posts to give extra privacy at the back of the garden. Raised, dog-proof beds were built for the planting. Scented climbers such as roses and honeysuckle were planted along the ropes, whilst the raised beds were planted with a variety of shrubs and perennials.

  • “I approached Garden Blueprints with a selection of garden features that appealed to m e and which were to be incorporated into a design for a small garden space. The size was quite challenging.

    Though consultation during a number of visits, Joanne’s interpretation and final design more than exceeded my expectations. In short, she oversaw all the arrangements from original concept to finished project and even ‘matched’ my taste to a landscape gardener that she felt would work well with me to deliver the desired result.”

  • “Joanne spent time with us discussing our ideas for the transformation of our garden. She came up with a plan which became the perfect answer for our needs. Her sympathetic planting and garden design has been for us an ongoing delight. I would certainly recommend you to others.”
