To utilize the large open space between the house and woods the client wished to create an orchard and meadow. At the same time we were asked to devise a method of blending the house with its high walled terrace and the lower lawn area.

To enhance the garden around this newly extended contemporary property we used the existing local Purbeck stone to create dry stone walling as edging to the terrace and borders.

A path with widely-spaced steps and bordered with Mediterranean plants, leads down to the terrace. Raised beds planted with evergreen topiary provide winter impact, while paeonies, roses, and catmint give summer interest.
