The client had seen the RenewEL van parked around Roman Road and contacted the team in July 2021. This young family wanted to make the most of the garden space; in the existing situation the garden had a small lawn with planting to the perimeter, overgrown climbers from a neighbouring property to one side and a large fruiting cherry tree at the rear. 

 

RenewEL went through the design process with the client and established their needs; a chic urban garden which was accessible all year round, with minimal planting and maintenance requirements. They wanted to keep the existing cherry tree, and build a bespoke deck and around it; the deck was to be laid at 45o to give a further interesting feature to the ground plain.

 

A bespoke horizontal battened fence was designed to the left hand side of the garden to provide privacy and contain the garden. A series of lantern poles were installed at intervals either side of the garden to allow a string of concertina lighting to be hung through the poles, this allowed the garden could be used on darker nights in Spring and Autumn and also for a pretty view from the kitchen in the evenings.
