The Valley River Project

Landscaping contractor Lake District

Landscaping contractor  Cumbria

A real landscaping challenge in Cumbria to create a full garden landscape on a previously unusable hillside with an overgrown beck running through it. It provided an ideal opportunity to create a really natural water feature which worked with the existing landscape. 

​

We overcame the logistical challenges of construction being along a steep hillside. It required many tonnes of hand picked stone to be transported along the steep gradients.

​

To integrate the new water feature with the existing garden we constructed three bold and chunky feature sets of steps into the hillside integrated with wonderful plants which provide visual interest and scent whilst moving through the garden.

Stepping through the garden 

​

What a great way to reach the Water Feature in this design. The design of the planting creates an inviting journey down the garden.

​

Steep gradients and banks are a challenge to work with, however they do provide the opportunity to create wonderful features such as these steps.
