Steep Back Garden in Penrith
Place
For a couple who are enthusiastic about gardening and willing to invest time and effort, whilst future-proofing for later years. A very steep, neglected back garden, sloping in several directions on the edge of the Lake District, with a handful of mature trees and shrubs and a small paved area at the top of the garden.
Brief
To create a garden that feels private, inviting and stylish. Given the steep terrain, the space should accommodate current interests while also considering future accessibility and ease of maintenance. Terracing will provide structure, with zones for different activities and opportunities to enhance biodiversity.
