The garden is based upon traditional Victorian layout with a rope edged tile path leading up to the front door. However the choice of Moroccan Encaustic Cement Tiles give the space a modern twist. In order to make a link between the path and boundary wall, we topped the wall with grey blue bull nose bricks. Otherwise the red brick and lime mortar used on the new walls were carefully chosen to match the house.
The owners liked the hedge in their old garden so the new path is lined either side with a Euonymus hedge which will grow up to hide the neighbour's adjoining wall which is an eyesore. The garden is north facing so the plants chosen are all happy in shade and most of them are evergreen.
