Stepped Garden in new development in Caterham, Surrey
Stepped Garden in new development in Caterham, Surrey
This steeply sloping site has been terraced to create usable space
This garden was just a steep slope that had been dug out by the diggers when the house was built. Getting some level space was crucial so a large patio adjacent to the house was created for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading up to a level lawn. Timber walls were installed to retain the higher levels and plants fill the beds to create a lush planting scheme and structure; many evergreens provide interest throughout the year. Timber sleeper steps lead to the upper level where a small seating area provides views over the garden and the gentle sloping lawn.
