The client required a Japanese style garden featuring a large pool for Koi carp.
The entrance to the garden is through timber gates and arch constructed from green oak which ages to a soft grey colour.
Planting features species with bold foliage, interesting texture and architectural form. Flowers are of secondary interest but most plants have blue or white flowers.

The large boulder near the tea house is drilled to allow water to be pumped from a reservoir below and fall back over the stone.
