Following design plans by garden designer Maxine Nelson, this garden in Ilkley, West Yorkshire was transformed from a tired, neglected area that was barely used to an elegant formal garden with clean lines and contemporary water feature.
The main elements of construction involved substantial excavation of the site followed by a large landscape gardening project involving the creation of formal terracing using natural stone, paving and the instalation of a rill water feature to run through the garden to a sculpture focal point.
Here are some before, during and after shots:
