Brief
A large family home in
Bromley had been neglected for years until the present owners moved in and
modernised the property from the ground floor right up to the roof.
With the extensive internal
renovations underway the next phase was the complete transformation of
both the front and rear gardens. As a family home the rear garden needed
to be visually stunning from the main terrace whilst being practical and a
joy to look after. The front garden priority was security and ease of
parking, with an elegant, welcoming aspect when viewed from the street.

example of a how impressive a family garden can look when intelligent
design and careful planning come together to create a uniquely
handcrafted, high quality finish.
