Member Supplier and Contractor Collaboration with Benefits

Two Association members have recently collaborated to complete a beautiful transformation of a client's front garden - Chris Plant from Mid Cornwall Landscaping and Straightcurve UK and explain the experience below.

Chris was approached by the client; a keen gardener, with a small front garden at her quintessential Cornish cottage. Due to the level change from the road to the house there was a sloping path with walls either side making a corridor to the front door, the garden was well planted but felt cramped and was not fulfilling its full potential. The client wanted to utilise the sunny aspect at the front of the house and create a place to sit but didn’t want to feel exposed to the lane below and the surrounding houses.

Chris decided to create a small sunken paved area close to the house giving privacy and making it a place to enjoy the surrounding plants and the sun. The materials were chosen to complement the yellows and rusty reds and browns of Cornish Stone work in the house and the existing walls.

Chris opted for steel as the step risers as it offered a space saving option because the steps could be formed without encroaching on the surrounding path. For Chris, it seemed like a good time to look at what our Accredited Supplier Straightcurve UK had to offer for steel edging and planters; in this case, as a quicker install and quality finish alternative.

The client was certainly pleased with the finished result too, she quickly jumped in to plant out her new look garden.
