<\/p>\nThe idea was to have a sociable space for entertaining and relaxing that didn’t require too much looking after.\u00a0 No cutting the lawn on a summer’s evening,\u00a0 just flopping down onto the sofa with a glass of wine!<\/p>\n
Into a relatively small space we managed to fit a hot tub, a generous circular sofa with fire pit, a barbecue with built-in work surfaces and a large table for seating the extended family.<\/p>\n
The space was divided up using contrasting areas of Bradstone paving.\u00a0 Large planters from Adezz were used to add some softening colour and height in the form of small trees.\u00a0 The fencing was made from western red cedar and adds a warm colour to the stylish greys. \u00a0 Yew hedging was planted around the boundary and will be clipped into a formal low hedge.<\/p>\n
The last picture shows how the garden looked before the transformation.<\/p>\n
