A Douglas Fir pergola is positioned to make the most of the evening sun while framing a Chinese Dogwood multi stem.
The bed is edged with a yew border and contains a mix of evergreen Liriope and spring flowering alliums.
Underlighting of the Cornus Kousa highlights the spindly stems providing interest after dark and tru the winter months.
Reshaping of the lawn and the addition of beds adds much needed space for planting. The garden lacking anything substantial previously.
Emphasis was put on two main aspects here with big leaf and evergreen planting coming to the fore.
A bonsai style Cyprus and potted Windmill Palm are both visible from the main living area with 3 multi stem Cordyline providing screening to the existing rear patio area.

Large 1.2m x 600mm Italian Porcelain tiles continue the existing interior laying pattern out to the garden with multiple levels to accommodate the rise and fall in level throughout the space.
Planted areas within the Porcelain bring the garden right up to the living area while also enabling screening of the large storage area.
