Sloping Garden Design - Case Study - Post 4

The landscaping in this sloping garden in Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire is very nearly complete.

The top of the garden has been levelled with a larger patio paved with blue-grey granite. One of the main requirements was to provide an upper level that was flat and could be enclosed so that the client's young children could play safely with minimum supervision.

 The topsoil and turf will go down next and the client will have a lush lawn that opens out the space and makes it beautiful and useable.

The garden is quite exposed as it sits on the top of a steep hill, so I have designed a smaller, decked terrace immediately below the patio for sitting and eating in a more private, intimate setting.  This also gives protection from the wind.

The ramp leading down to the lower garden area is waiting for it's sub-base and then a top layer of self-binding gravel.  The stepped planters adjoining the path will be filled with topsoil and await their plants.

The steps up from the lower garden area are complete and the planters on either side will be filled with topsoil and planted with plants that will tumble over the retaining walls softening the scheme.
