Published 20 January 2014

A low maintenance landscaping project near Aberdeen city. We completed a full garden landscaping renovation, transforming this urban garden and maximising its full potential. A raised patio seating area was created by the construction of a curved retaining wall with central access steps between two brick piers. The remainder of the garden was kept at the lower level, with Indian sandstone laid throughout with shingle covered flower beds for easy maintenance placed in curved shapes in it’s midst. Retaining sleeper walls were constructed to support the boundary fencing whilst providing a useful space to plant annual bulbs and various Alpine species for low maintenance.
