The Dream
The clients had started digging one summer with the intention of creating a sunken Italian contemporary garden, three skips later they had created a crater in their garden… They then realised that this was a job for us!




Our insight
After an informal garden visit a plan was agreed to make the dream a reality.
Porcelain paving was chosen to provide a contemporary feeling.
A hardwood deck was installed to lead from the classical Italianate garden to the wildlife area and pond to the rear of the garden.


Making the dream a reality
The previously dug out area needed to be expanded to enable the sunken feature to have seating and a fire pit for those long summer nights in the garden. A wooden arbour was used to lead the eye to the rear of the garden.
The hardwood decking softened the porcelain paving and integrates seamlessly between the two surfaces, this provided the pathway to the rear wildlife garden and pond area that was previously inaccessible to the clients.
