“The planting plans were thorough and practical making it easy to order plants in stages and allow for our budgeting and timing requirements. Now we have a beautiful growing garden that we are sure we will enjoy for years to come."
— S Byatt, hardwick
Supernature completely redesigned the front garden of this period family home. Re-directing and improving the approach to the house, adding sitting areas, and colourful planting that looks good year-round. The views to and from the house were opened up, and paths and steps added to improve the access to the front entrance. Sandstone paving and compacted gravel paths were selected to harmonise with the period house. The front garden space was to be used as much as the rear garden, so a sitting area has been created and a large terracotta urn water feature provides sound and movement. Colourful, low-maintenance perennial plants and ornamental grasses create a warm welcome for visitors.
