New steps and stone walls provide a elegant contract with the lush vegetation

Nick designed and detailed the planting and hard landscape as part of the development of a well established suburban garden. Sudden contrasts of light and shade dramatize the mysterious walled garden and steps and walls provide a strongly sculptural contrast to the organic forms and textures of lush vegetation.
