Plants: Japanese maple and mixed planting behind storage box provide interest. The Michelia figo and buxus sempervirens layered hedge provide privacy, formality and a calm green backdrop to the courtyard patio. Fence: lattice was attached to to the existing run down fence and painted a very deep (almost black) blue. The dark color helps the fence recede and makes the green foliage stand out. The lattice brings texture which also helps soften the boundary. Paving: The simple paving pattern is one of the more difficult to lay - you need to make sure the perp lines are straight for it to look fabulous. But done well this is the most peaceful restful paving pattern. These pavers are Blue stone. The same stone as the retaining wall. The different texture is from the blue stone blocks in the wall being rough hewn, while the pavers have been cut with a diamond blade saw. Storage and bench seat: The storage bench Is practical, functional and good looking. It contains garden tools in waterproof boxes which means no garden shed taking up space in this inner city courtyard. And it is a lovely day bed, or bench seat for the table.
