Circular Lawn with Tiered Sandstone Walls


Category: Driveways, Patio, Paving & Walls

Garden Design Project: DWSGST002



This Circular Lawn garden design is an excellent example of how to use circular shapes in the garden. The curved walls around the Circular Lawn create raised flower beds and a form for the curved pergola.

The client had lived with the garden's slope for many years and was at last fed up with the existing landscaping design. She wanted a flat area of grass for the grandchildren to play on and plenty of areas for planting. The drop from front to back was 1m and was north facing. Thus the garden had to be tiered with the grass towards the rear.

80 tons of soil was removed to create the levels. With the drainage in, construction of the retaining stone walls could begin. The walls were constructed with weep holes and back-filled with 20mm gravel to aid drainage.

The walls are complete and capped with Sandstone sets. The new patio and paths were then installed.


Flower Bed Design

The new lawn and plants transform the garden. The addition of a curved pergola and the curved paving slabs adds a different dimension and further interest.
