New build garden - new home for a tortoise

This new-build is located on the edge of Tattenhall village. Our client was looking for a rear garden her lovely tortoise could also enjoy, and a front garden with a little more interest - but most importantly no lawn in either! 

The hard landscaping for the rear garden was completed by a local contractor within a very tight budget, with our client happy to complete the planting plan by herself over the next few years. 

The front garden was an interesting challenge due to the very high number of grid covers involved! We came  up with a spiral design that incorporated stepping stones for ease of maintenance, box balls for the main structure and infilled with lavender and seeded creeping thyme around the stones.
