The steps in this beautiful cottage space were opened up and remodelled by skilled landscaper Orco Build, repurposing original flints and bricks to form longer steps and a mini suntrap patio at the top. A bespoke wrought iron railing will be installed to replace the wall and provide safety for the clients’ grandchildren.

Meanwhile I have replanted ground cover, climbers and shrubs that were previously in the wall bed and assorted pots, and designed bright shrubby planting to provide colour and shape against the black fence. Watch this space for updates.
