Our focus for this garden was to create a stylish and low maintenance outdoor space, with varied textures in the hard landscaping such as grey-tone composite decking and a bespoke modernist lily pond. The dining area is set opposite a polished concrete outdoor fireplace and is partially screened from the rest of the garden by a tall, tightly-clipped yew hedge. A feeling of serenity is brought by a large magnolia which creates dappled shade in the summer months.
