Mediterranean Terraced Garden

This design was created for a new-build garden on a recently completed housing development. The space had a significant change in level and a fairly blank starting point, so the aim was to create a series of usable terraces with timber sleeper retaining walls and steps, while keeping the overall feel simple and low maintenance.
The planting was designed to have a relaxed, low maintenance, Mediterranean influence, using structural plants, grasses and softer planting to work with the hard landscaping rather than overpower it.
The project was not taken forward after the house purchase fell through, but the design shows how a sloping new-build garden could have been transformed into a practical, characterful outdoor space.
