Holiday cottage garden near St Andrews
- professional couple requested garden & planting design for sloping sheltered garden outside converted stable block (20013/14)
- cottage used on weekends & for holidays throughout the year; garden used for entertaining & relaxing, but clients happy to potter about maintaining the planting; long views from house towards St Andrews Bay to be retained
- larger deck required in sunny spot outside master bedroom, along with less dominant driveway & parking area; existing walls (sandstone & rendered concrete block) & monoblock patio to be integrated into new design
- existing sandstone walling was extended alongside driveway/parking area & additional terracing/steps frame the new semi-circular deck, allowing ground levels to be adjusted
- new mixed planting softens the boundaries & provides additional shelter & semi-transparent screening; thick composted bark used to retain water on & reduce weeding requirements
