Raised beds and red planters

This small garden in Holland Park, London was very overgrown and the dirty sloping paving wasn't suitable for this young family. By adding some smart hardwood steps down to the garden we levelled the paving creating a usable space. A raised bed was planted with smart low maintenance plants and acts as a seat for entertaining.

One boundary was replaced with outdoor wooden shutter screens behind tall red planters as a striking contemporary feature.
