During weekends and evenings my family and I took part in a transformation of my Grandmas Garden. The brief was to create a low maintenance garden and create a new path down to the shed. The project took us just over 6 weeks to complete.
At the start of the project, I sat with my Grandma and discussed what she wanted for her garden. We talked about the size of the path, the types of plants and how the garden could be designed for easy maintenance. I designed some quick visualisations and she decided which design she liked best.
When undertaking the work, it was decided to incorporate some sleepers to the left hand side of the garden to address a difference in level between my Grandma’s garden and the level of the barge board to her neighbours fence. Other than this alteration the work was carried out in accordance with the designs I drew.
The result has been a great success finished off by planting some winter bedding plants and planting some bulbs for the spring. Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the result and so is my Grandma. She is looking forward to enjoying her garden next summer.
