Coastal
Garden
Where:
East Lothian

New build home in a generous plot with stunning views over the firth of Forth, required a family friendly & low maintenance garden. Sand-dunes form the boundaries, bringing the landscape seamlessly into the garden. The lawn is maximised for ball games, an external kitchen and bar has been designed for entertaining, and a raised deck with feature dry stone boulder walling catches the last of the evening sun.
​
Planting scheme
Native grasses, Ammophila arenaria and Molinia carerulea, form the anchor planting to hardy perennials such as sea holly, ox-eye daisies, erigerons, sea thrift and sun roses. New trees include Whitebeam, Rowan and ornamental Pear.
