The scheme, while initially might seem simple, had a number of challenges that were noted including SuDS compliancy, the re-siting of stone, the extent of resin, the stone cutting plans and creation of an engaging but delicate planting palette that satisfied an exacting client - all of which was executed to a good standard that achieved the client’s brief and created a very pleasant space to be within. There was good attention to detail and finish throughout, but some elements detracted very slightly from the overall finish including the light channel into the stone coping which, in places had come adrift, and the variable sizes in joints across both York and English Limestone. Additional care around existing root plate levels and finished paving levels should also be borne in mind wherein upstand may be beneficial. Of additional note was the ’The Garden Design Company’s’ dedication to the planting success, ensuring that damaged trees were rejected, and suitable selection made to match and establishment of wider planting design. Overall, the scheme was executed to a good standard with some delightful details to create a domestic garden terrace of a high standard.”
