Water rill garden

This large garden in Wandsworth had a sloping unusable expanse of lawn, and an old completely overgrown gate and arch in the middle of the garden. When we uncovered the beautiful brick arch, we used this as the basis for the design.

 

The sloping section was terraced and we incorporated a water rill falliing into a fish pool. The lower area of the garden became a cool shady patio and white garden, and the upper lawn was redesigned and replanted to incorporate a swinging seat looking back through the gate to the rill.
