Project 1. Terraced Garden

My brief here was very exciting….
“We would like to say wow when we come into the garden and have water moving on all the levels.”
We created a series of terraces each with a water feature, a stream through slate, rill through the brick oval and alpine area, finishing with a pond on the bottom terrace.
