The client’s own sketches of rocks and beautiful Japanese calligraphy were a starting point for discussion. The final design combined smooth river pebbles, natural wood and very carefully chosen plants such as grasses, hostas, ferns, bamboos and irises to create a Japanese style perfectly at home in its Scottish setting. The finished garden has an amazingly calming atmosphere – one of the most appealing gardens to sit in we have created- and is designed to draw you through to contemplate and enjoy each individual view and plant.
Squeezed between house and fence, with the lawn challenged by shade and a little dog, this garden was not doing much for its plant loving owner. The grass was difficult to maintain and despite limited space much of the garden was under used.
