Starting with a blank canvass and very modest budget, this property in Richmond benefits from the careful soft landscaping. The use of plants is key to creating a beautiful long lasting space that will continue to thrive, year on year.

A large terrace looking over the garden ensures no corner is out of sight, whilst an intricate path, with delicate planting, creates space for gardening. A large lawn, with a pergola at one end, adds a focal point and destination. Hardy shrub planting around the lawn reduces maintenance and stands up to the inevitable impact from  footballs.  

A view through to the arbour position at the rear of the garden. Acting as a  focal point, it provides perspective and a place to be.
