Pockets of level lawn bordering the pond make the water safe to approach, and a jetty was installed to create a seating area on the water. This offers an immersive experience surrounded by grasses and planting in the shallow gravel pockets along the margins of the pond.
Atop the steepest part of the bank, overlooking the whole of the pond and the adjacent fields and forest, an informal seating area with a fire pit is a perfect spot to dream away lazy afternoons and evenings surrounded by nature.
Marlene was an absolute dream to work with. Her initial design totally blew us away and she was with us every step until completion. She is incredibly collaborative, thoughtful, creative, and totally focused on both tiny details and the bigger picture. I know we would not have achieved the garden we love without her positive professionalism.
