A neglected large ex-council Georgian terrace house in Islington.

The garden had been used as a dumping ground for years and had no redeeming features except for some lovely old brick walls.

The house had previously been split into several flats. The new owners lovingly restored it back into a family home and wanted a new garden to go along with it.

The biggest challenge was dealing with the heights of the garden and the access (everything had to enter and leave through a lower ground floor window).

Deep shade and heavy clay soils also had be taken into consideration for the planting and the creation of privacy.
