A few months ago I was tasked with creating a front garden in Leighton Buzzard. The brief was a modern, clean and low maintenance look that would cope in the wind, as it is situated in a bit of a wind tunnel.
Starting off as long grass, with poorly placed utillity covers in the middle of it, I went for a design that once fully grown will hide – but crucially still provide access – to the utilities. The grasses move in the wind, the smaller grasses such as Hakonachloa change with the seasons, and the Hebe adds some evergreen colour year round.
What the client had to say about my design, as seen on my google reviews:
Ben has helped us to transform our front garden exactly as per our requirements (from lawn to easy to maintain plants and rocks that will withstand the exposed weather). Great communication throughout the process, careful selection of appropriate plants and a lovely design and choice of colours. We are really happy and can’t wait to see our new garden grow out! Thank you Ben 🙂
