Terracing A Sloping Garden

This garden on the side of the  Ewyas Harold Common was a very steep slope that was hard to manage and maintain. The owners wanted something they could work with, and loved the ‘cottage garden’ style. Justin Jones Landscapes & Gardens managed to cut several terraces into the slope, and created a walk-through space with sun room and circular pathways accessed from a new sleeper stairway from the rear patio. We embarked on extensive planting of native wild flower species to create a very organic, natural meadow arrangement in this garden bordering the open space of the common, which is a fantastic butterfly habitat. Hopefully the butterflies will approve of the flowering plants in summer.
