Curb Appeal
What will compliment the front of your house?
This is quite a subjective question and there are no right or
wrong answers - unless you are doing this in order to add value
and sell your house.
The terrain of the front of the property allows for a wide variety
of design configurations. We have opted for conserving as much
of the plants as we could. However with the amount of work that
had to be done this was not always easy.
Grading the garden
Digging footings and starting on the walls using
the same Ambion Bricks
Building the curved retaining wall we used Rugby
Extra Special Cement
The sweep and curve in the wall is to break up
sharp angles and add a feature
We used blue engineering bricks over a clay tile
crease to cap the walls
The front wall between the pillars is short to
avoid detracting from the house
We added a sweep the Charcon Block Paving
and incorporated Hepworth Drainage
We used Charcon curbing blocks to form
the edges
We turfed the front lawn and used Bradstone
rope-top edging around the bedding
All aggregates - hardcore, sand and the Slate
chips to cover the drive were from Wildmore Aggregate
