Maire, is a lovely neighbour of ours. I recently did the stained glass restoration in her front door and when Maire saw our garden she loved it so much she asked us to design and build a new garden for her.
We started the work at the end of May and it took us over 4 weeks.
This is the result .......

and asked us to incorporate the old family Belfast sink,
Detail shot of paving
I love the texture contrasts of the Indian sandstone and the pebble,
we choose the paint to mirror exactly the 'green' in the sandstone.

My favourite part was choosing the planting
patio area 2
Just 4 small trees in each corner of this area ,
to enclose and separate the space.
We are really proud of this garden , and more importantly Maire loves it.
It was such a pleasure to work for her and it was a fantastic opportunity
for myself and Joe to collaborate on a garden project .
