Family garden, Middleton, Ilkley

The client wanted to link a newly purchased field, which was separated from the main garden by a parking area/ turning head, to the original garden. This was achieved by creating a new seating area at the end of the drive as a connecting space.

The children’s play area in the new field. Hardy planting adds structure and shelter.
