Jenny and Richard

What was previously another jungle of weeds with some existing shrubs and larger backbone plants, was refreshed into an ornamental sleeper and pebble footpath with balanced planting. Interesting verticals were created using local sea groynes. A central focal point consists of a raised bed constructed from reclaimed sleepers on end, encircled with welded steel bands and decorated with coach bolts. Rusted steel, weathered wooden sleepers and groynes, and beach pebbles combine to give considerable sea-side flavours for this garden in Rye, East Sussex. This garden was completed in Nov 2015 on a wet and windy day... I look forward to returning and seeing the colours come through more from the many climbing roses, old hydrangeas and camelias, and the new additions including lavenders, agapanthus, heucharas, rosa Mme Isaac Pereire, astelia chatamicas, trachelospermums, and more. Beautiful seating areas were created by colleague Graham, reshaping and staining scaffold boards. 

CLIENT REVIEW
Project Date: August 2016
Client Feedback from Houzz : "Joe is a very artistic garden designer. He is able to listen very carefully to what the garden itself is saying to him as well as getting to know his clients. Our garden had not been tended for many, many years but he was able to see its potential through his experience. He is an extremely sympathetic person to work with and we are delighted with his work.
We would recommend him without hesitation."
