formal garden
London – Holland Park
Lighten up this dark overgrown garden and reorganize it in a formal pattern was the brief given by the client. The existing York stone paved area has been widened to create a proper dining area. The lawn is larger and enclosed by clipped box hedges. A gravel path – lit at night - leads to the back of the garden where this shaded area has been decked and designed with an L-shaped built-in bench giving another place to stay or entertain. Clipped hedges of box and yew and evergreen shrubs give a formal look to the new layout.
