Country garden for a bungalow, Suffolk
Having lived in the bungalow for a few years my clients commissioned me to design a new garden to be constructed after the addition of a new conservatory. The brief was to retain an element of openness to enjoy the surrounding countryside whilst providing some detraction from the buildings at each side of the garden. The 'flying pergola' provided a backdrop to an area of Mediterranean planting on the western boundary.
The recent 'post project' extension to the house on the east boundary will be screened as the Gleditsia tree and shrub planting matures. In agreement with the neighbour the trellis on these fences is to be raised to enable the development of climbers to break the view and create more privacy for my clients.
The main patio provides a sunny sheltered seating area, the summerhouse provides another aspect to enjoy the evenings and appreciate the sunset and planted borders. My clients wished to be very much part of the development. We all worked together on the planting and they enjoy the manageable upkeep of the garden. I make regular visits to carry out additional development work.
