This was a low-budget redesign for a village garden. The owner describes himself as a 'non-gardener', so any planting needed to look after itself. The design makes use of the existing patio, the evergreen laurel hedge... and a spectacular mature magnolia tree. The space has been de-cluttered, the hot-tub moved to a more suitable position and a shed removed. INNOVATION: Using rubber tiling to create a drop, slip and trip-safe base around the hot-tub.
