Small family garden

A garden which had two sheds and a large magnolia tree which took up most of the space. A new shed with decorative doors was created in one corner, with an internal door giving access to the back lane avoiding the need for a garden gate which would have taken space out of the flower border. The decking steps up to the level of the house door and includes a hidden play sandpit. A sense of space is achieved by keeping the features to the corners allowing a larger area of lawn in the centre.
