Why have lawn when you can have a pond!

I was asked to design a garden for a couple whose main desire was plenty of space for table and chairs, two garden sofas, a swing seat, and also two benches. Almost at the last minute, they also said they fancied a pond.        

By the time I had planned the seating areas, and pond, I decided there was little point having any lawn, so made the pond bigger instead. The garden is only just planted, so it will of course be very different next year, but here is the new layout. They have employed a gardener now who will ensure the garden is kept neat and weedfree for them to sit and enjoy, so I can look forward to revisit knowing that it is well tended.


Sofas now have plenty of space and overlook the pond.

The new patio  large enough for table, chairs and sofas.

The gravel path leads to the shed

The gravel path continues past the pond, to a swing seat, offering this alternative
view of the garden.

How it looked before..........
