A 2.5 acre designed landscape from an existing field with a contemporary feel yet blending in with the glorious Welsh mountain backdrop. A radical design using wide gravelled areas and ‘rivers’ of fine blue Welsh slate. The extensive planting was designed with drifts of grasses and late new perennials to give a rich tapestry of colour all interspersed with curving blocks of clipped yew or beech to provide essential structure. Because of the extensive area, a flexible grid plan was designed in order to organise the planting scheme.
