My Portfolio - Walled Garden


Brief

The major feature of this garden was a 25 ft high wall at the back of the garden. It was quite overbearing so the client wanted a design that made the wall appear less imposing.

The clients also wanted a low maintenance garden with a water feature, planting and sitting/patio areas to capture the morning and evening sun.

Designer’s solution

Raised beds, made from green oak sleepers, were built along the high wall to lift the planting and make the wall appear less imposing. Patio areas, ideal for entertaining and relaxing, were built in both corners of the garden so as to capture the early morning and evening sun. A triangular water feature provides a focal point on the patio. Low maintenance shrubs were planted giving year-round colour.

  • “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.”
