Low Maintenance Garden design Kells co.Meath

Unkempt and sometimes unruly garden
 This garden in Kells co.Meath belonged to a young couple. Their garden was on a slope and was difficult for them to maintain as the lawn they inherited was in poor condition. The oil tank was an eyesore and overall the garden which was their largest room had no character or patio for them to enjoy sitting outdoors with their friends.
Their budget was limited but they wished to have some shape and design put into their garden and which they could enjoy.
We decided that for their budget of under 3000 euros we could create a beautiful contempory garden with patio area raised beds, low maintenance planting which would include some silver birch and rowan trees for screening and seasonal interest and an area where they could have a garden shed installed. Also i would over seed and feed their lawn to encourage it back to a manageable lawn with a brick edging surround to define the lawn and reduce on strimming. The results were pretty pleasing overall and shows that with experience and imagination garden makeovers can be designed to suit a range of budgets..
