The Newton Abbot Residents’ Association commissioned a shared garden space upgrade for a group of neighbouring properties in a central urban location. The brief called for a smart and cohesive patio area that allowed for small social gatherings, offered low maintenance, and respected the architectural style of the historic buildings surrounding it.
- Design and laying of a reclaimed York stone patio, chosen to match the period look of the surrounding terraces.
- Construction of a central paved circle for a communal seating area, bordered with symmetrical planting for formality.
- Discreet installation of uplighting within planters to highlight architectural features at night.
- Implementation of a compact irrigation system to support seasonal planting with minimal resident upkeep.
