Contemporary courtyard garden

When your kitchen looks straight out onto your garden you want the view to be something attractive. This London garden was very tired and dated - the client wanted a garden that would be light, bright and low maintenance with a contemporary feel.

A multi-stem silver birch tree is the focal point of the garden, with added interest provided by smart planters against white walls.
