A tired and difficult to manage, long sloping garden was transformed into 4 terraced garden 'rooms': Timber steps from a decked area lead down to a dry gravel garden with a contemporary garden office. Chunky oak sleeper steps the width of the garden then take you down to a lawn area with planting beds either side. Another set of oak sleeper steps lead down to a paved firepit area and a specimen multi-stemmed Acer griseum. A final set of steps leads down to a veg growing area with raised beds and painted timber shed.
