Redland Redesign
Converting a garage into a garden studio changed the way this family wanted to use their garden. The existing driveway cut the garden in half making it disjointed and the lower area neglected. This challenging design aimed to re-join the two areas and create entertaining and useful outdoor spaces around the studio.
"After living with a drive going through our garden for 15 years, when we developed the garage we wanted to make the garden a single cohesive space but we're not sure how to go about it. Daryl really listened to what we wanted, came up with some great ideas and then brought it to life with a mesh solution on the grass slopes as well as creating and planting the borders. Her knowledge of plants shone through and she was very responsive and flexible to various requests. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any garden project."
