Basically a square space full of pea shingle.....
The house is in an amazing location backing onto allotments .
The client wanted a terraced area for entertaining and gardens that can be used for flowers fruit and vegetable as well as herbs.
I designed a deck along the back of the house at door height & paths around the terrace with beech hedging blocks to give privacy and interest.
