Corten steel water feature

Modern Garden, Essex

A triangular plot that runs over several levels down a steep decline, this garden needed smooth transitions between the levels. Privacy was also and issue, as it was overlooked from all sides. From the top deck a second set of stairs lead away from the house. These are flanked on either side by a stainless steel rill along which water will flow to two raised water pools in the lower area. The planting scheme is primarily based on pinks, whites and plum colours. A backbone of evergreen shrubs amongst soft pink blooms, and offer a variety of textures. Several specimen trees are dotted throughout the garden to accentuate the levels and give a playful twist to the space.
