A circular design of inter-linked lawns and paving. This design was inspired by two little girls who wanted a cycle track. Mum has a corner hideaway surrounded by the plants she loves, and a larger patio near to the house provides ample space for entertaining.

A custom made steel rill sits snugly within a circle of turf. Water circulates from a hidden integrated reservoir.

Before
After
This transformation was achieved simply by reshaping and widening the central steps linking the two levels of the original courtyard. New sandstone has been laid on an angle for paving and steps, and also used to cap the old millstone grit walls unifying old and new. Working with the existing walls saved money and disruption.

A well proportioned lawn of inter-locking circles defined by tegular setts. A mix of old and new planting flows around the curves of the lawn and paving and a simple structure of timber and willow wraps around the circular seating area providing a cosy enclosure.
