Low maintenance garden

This is a low maintenance garden GreenArt Landscapes created in Balbriggan co.Dublin. The owner was a busy professional who wanted to make the most of his garden which up until now he barely used.
He wanted a garden with out grass which gave him more time to enjoy his free time and could be used all year round as the ground was particularly wet in winter. Not having any grass also meant that he didn't need a garden shed for storing lawnmowers and unused clutter.
I came up with a curvilinear design that took the square look off his garden. We put the sandstone patio in the centre of the garden to catch the most sunshine and it also became a central feature of the garden.
The timber seated pergola also made a good focal point within the garden while helping to screen the view of the houses behind.
A mixture of cottage perrenials such as agapanthus, delphiniums, lavender and grasses with two trees, a native mountain ash  and Japanese maple would give seasonal colour throughout the year.
