This was an overgrown town garden with a design challenge - a listed icehouse in the centre of it!

Our clients were keen gardeners and wanted large borders and no lawn. We used a variety of different surfaces and walling to create interest as the path led you from one area to the next. A seating area at the top of the garden provides a quiet sunny retreat while the terrace by the conservatory is the outdoor dining area.
