Leaside Project Summary Click on the "English Garden" on the right to view a "Slide Show" of a project through it's steps of progression. Here is a breakdown of what you will see. This Leaside property was basically a bed of weeds. The clients, bewildered and frustrated with the existing growing conditions; poor soil and dry shade, the worst, had allowed the yard to go. They had always dreamed of an "English Garden" but with two dogs in tow, who loved to tear up the lawn and garden, they didn't see how this could be possible. It was obvious the dogs could not have free rein of the yard so a division was created. Closest to the house a patio surrounded by raised garden beds was closed off with a custom cedar gate. This allows our clients to enjoy their dogs in the patio area without having to worry about them getting into the garden. The main garden lay beyond the gates. A winding gravel pathway was installed replacing the lawn. Along the walk is a pond, a custom cedar pergola / bench area and a decorative shed all strategically placed to help reduce the look of the long and narrow yard. The installation of irrigation and the appropriate choice of plant materials have successfully transformed this once barren space into an interesting and lush "English Garden" with the bonus of happy dogs! Please feel free to contact us, we look forward to consulting with you! By Phone: 416.560.6466 By Email: info@keenandesign.ca Naneen Keenan - Professional, Custom, Landscape Designer
