Architectural Coastal Planting

Coastal Garden - Dealing With The Salt Winds In Style.

Our clients, a professional couple, had moved into a cliff top property in Milford-on-Sea and inherited a garden with a lot of hard landscaping and little else. They were keen to add interesting planting and a design which reflected the contemporary design of the alterations they were making to the house. They were keen to recycle as much of the existing hard materials as possible and the planting needed to be low maintenance.
