Caterham

This is a total makeover we recently completed in the Surrey Town of Caterham,, just a couple of before photos, the rest are the completed project.

As well as the obvious clearing, paving and gravel we repaired the trellis, pruned the cherry tress, and treated the fencing and shed

 As well as being a lot lower maintenance I think the new garden gives a lot more sense of space and brings focus onto the specimen plants that have been retained.   The rope top edging ties in with both the prexisting bit that we kept and the style of the house, it also gives a nice neat edge to the border.

The paving circle gives a firm base if the owners want to sit out and enjoy the garden, it also breaks up the expanse of the gravel.

I am particularly pleased with the new trellis I put up on the house to support what is a very fine climbing rose, in the winter when the rose has dropped al it's leaves the trellis will give a nice contrast with the white wall behind.

All in all I am very pleased with this whole garden, I think it is very easy on the eye, and satisfies the owners requirement for low maintenance, while still managing to retain enough interest in the planting.
