This client were in love with the Italian Amalfi coast, and wished for a garden that encapsulated the mediterranean feel. They were keen to have the garden full of blooms with no lawn and a small seating area to enjoy the sunshine.

The scheme was a richly planted gravel garden with a central route to the seating area surrounding by lush Mediterranean planting.  We included some local sandstone boulders to represent the mountains/cliff scenery of Amalfi and a ‘seam’ of naturalistic stones crossing the garden.

The planting embraced silver and grey foliaged mediterranean plants, a formal row of Italian cypress trees along the boundary, a row of Junipers along the front of the garden to also bring some enclosure and formal structure.
