The Wimbledon Garden

Design by Shelley Hugh Jones · clay paviors · gravel landings · gabion retaining

The project

Built from a completed design.

Built from a design by Shelley Hugh Jones, this Wimbledon garden turns a small, unusable sloped area into a sequence of usable landings. Dark clay paviors form the steps and terraces, with gravel landings breaking up the levels and small planting inserts cut into the paving to soften each space. Gabion retaining walls hold back the slope and frame the route down through the garden.
