Elegant curves

​

Thames Ditton: north-facing, established garden.

 

After an orangery was built onto this 1930’s house, we were asked to create a patio and renovate the third of the garden affected by the building works.

​

Inspired by the house, a hardwood deck was designed with elegantly curved corners clad with distinctive aluminium fascia. The steps effortlessly accommodate the fall in level and a planter was built into the corner of the top deck. It was made with great precision and the planks on the steps run at 45° to those on the top. The beds echo the shape of the deck and the brick-edged patio.

​

'A beautiful job executed with flair, enthusiasm and professionalism...'

​

Already a haven for wildlife, we chose more insect-friendly species, and plants to complement the deck as it silvers with age. The long border will look good all year round. New turf blends into the existing, you can hardly see the join.
