CURVED GARDEN

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

The homeowners wanted to create an outdoor space with a distinctive character. Although an existing timber garden room was to be retained, the surrounding area felt unfinished and required a more considered layout.

Northwood Landscape developed a design based around sweeping curves. Flowing planting beds and a self-binding gravel pathway were introduced to guide movement around the garden, connect the different areas and draw attention through the space.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

– Create smooth and consistent curves throughout the garden.

– Provide a durable separation between planting beds and pathways suitable for a restricted-access installation.

– Prepare clearly defined planting areas for the homeowner.

THE SOLUTION:

Restricted access presented a key challenge, as a staircase prevented machinery from reaching the garden. All materials therefore, had to be transported and installed by hand, requiring careful planning throughout the project.

CORE EDGE was used to form the sweeping curves between the planting beds and the self-binding gravel pathway. Its flexible steel construction allowed Northwood Landscape to create smooth, consistent lines while providing a strong and durable separation between the different surfaces.

Despite the access restrictions, the contractor successfully delivered a distinctive garden layout that connected the existing garden room, new pathway, planting areas and bespoke ironwork.
