Brief / Key Features

• Fill gaps between historic patio slabs outside the back door, to create a stable surface. Infill with matching stone and weak mix mortar to encourage plants (daisies, violas, mind-your-own business) to grow between
• Create reclaimed timber seating and table for outdoor dining
• Millboard boardwalk and deck with sofas. The boardwalk will be raised to even out the levels between patio and garden; it will help soften the existing pond into the garden, and create access
• Steps down to lawn and on to log cabin; area of gravel held in edging bricks
• 3x4m log cabin for work and hobbies, with adjacent bistro seating below a lightweight pergola
• Steps down to rear garage
