Having cleared an area of evergreen shrubs which were taking over we found ourselves with a space next to the pond which we wanted to turn into an area we could relax in.

Julie visited the garden to discuss what we were trying to create, and she came back with a number of ideas based on a raised wooden deck connected to the rest of the garden by a boardwalk.

We thought this was a great idea as it complimented this part of the garden which is shady with tall pines and eucalyptus. Julie drew up four designs and we chose an option that curved down the side of the garden and linked to the deck which reflected the fluid path of the boardwalk.

Julie then developed a detailed plan after taking measurements and levels and recommended a landscape contractor. During the build Julie supported us by visiting to ensure the build was to spec.

Due to the pandemic the build was delayed for about a year, but we now have a beautiful boardwalk and deck which sits very comfortably and naturally within the garden.

All in all, a very easy process.
