An overgrown front-garden gets a contemporary beach-themed makeover. The garden path is hazardous, the boundary wall is crumbling. A safe, clean low-maintenance design is needed, for self-build on a budget. The solution relies on a bold layout that solves access problems and structures a low-maintenance planting for year round interest.

Planting has to cope with North-East low-light, hilltop winds, salt air and shallow clay soil over chalk. Plants chosen are up to the challenge! Garden is white themed, with deep red and chartreuse contrast. Planted landscape membrane and mulched with gravel.
