Ayrshire: Small Family Garden Design in Stewarton
My first thoughts were to grade the garden and introduce some wide sweeping steps so as not to confine any space within the plot. The position of the patio was governed by sun coverage and the couple liked the idea of this being circular. Circular and non-conformative lines are useful in confined spaces when emplyed to create a sense of expanse to the mind’s eye. In such a square and restrictive garden though I felt that informality might lose any appeal to the user and so I opted for a formal structure based around the circular patio.
