The owners of this terraced property had grown tired of their existing front garden space, a patchy lawn riddled with weeds essentially inaccessible due to the low walls and iron fencing surrounding it, and sought to update it to improve the visual appeal of their house.

A semi-formal layout of Welsh slate paving interspersed with slate chippings ensures that the garden remains sympathetic to the building it sits before, while a selection of plants with soft and architectural qualities and, most importantly, low maintenance requirements provide a pleasing view from both the house and the street all year round.
