A riverside garden transformation

Forget Dry January, we seem to be having the wettest January for a long time.

Despite the soggy weather, work is going well on a Dee Banks, a private garden which has a stunning position on the banks of the River Dee in Chester.

We were challenged to improve the views, create new usable spaces and a sheltered space so the garden could be used all year round. Our work needed to make the most of the enviable riverside location.

This month we have been busy creating the gently curved terraces. The final steps are to add colour and texture to the scheme with our planting, pleached trees for screening, a boathouse roof deck with seating, interesting edges and paths and an area for an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Watch this space.
