This garden is on an extremely steep hill that was covered by trees and overgrown shrubbery that restricted light to the house and the existing small part of the garden that could be utilised. 

The customers wanted to be able to make use all of the garden but didn’t really know what they wanted and could not think how anything could be made of the area with the restrictions of the steepness of the land.

After cutting back all the trees and clearing overgrowth, the customers were amazed at the size of their garden.  They were delighted with the results of a stream running from the top of the slope down the centre of the garden into a reservoir.  The water runs over rocks that filter the water to keep it clean. 

A gravel path zig zags all the way up to the top where a patio table and chairs are situated for the customers to see a new view of their house and garden whilst they listen to the relaxing sound of water running over the rocks. 

Timber retaining walls are constructed, together with wooden bridges over the stream.  Wooden handrails at the side of the bridges are for safety and a gravel path enhance the overall picture. 

A rockery has been constructed at the base of the slope with larger rocks interspersed amongst the planting.
