GARDEN DESIGN BRETT LANDSCAPING PROVES TO BE THE STYLISH AND PRACTICAL CHOICE The homeowner of a period building was determined to carry out extensive reshaping of his outdoor space but knew there needed to be provision for one element that he wouldn’t be using himself – a driveway. It was an interesting challenge for garden designer Lucy Willcox who 24 www.landud.co.uk understood that the owner of the charming Victorian station cottage in Ealing, West London, was taking the long view in terms of the resale potential of the property. Parking in London is at such a premium that having a driveway is a great selling point for a property and, although it wasn’t required immediately, this needed to be incorporated into the design. The award-winning garden designer chose Brett Landscaping paving products to guarantee that her client could enjoy a stylish outdoor dining area which could ultimately convert into a practical and hard-wearing driveway.
