Gravel Garden &
Entrance Borders
Sevenoaks, Kent
Front garden transformation into a low maintenance gravel garden within central Sevenoaks.
A new central border, complete with multi stem tree and water bowl, creates a new focal point within the space. Domes and curving lines have been used to accentuate the shape of pre-existing pathways and borders. A complete planting refresh was also undertaken across entrance and rear borders, using planting suitable for free-draining soil and tailored to the aspect of given planting beds.
​
The photographs below show the garden newly planted, with space for plants to grow into their full, mature size.
Design can be an iterative process - the illustration below depicts a view of the gravel garden with an emphasis on wildlife-friendly planting and habitats, with an element of edible planting for a keen cook. ​As the design process progressed and plans for the house and garden evolved, this design was refined to a create a simple, reflective space in seasonal colours of purple, white and a flush of pink.
