BRIEF SUMMARY
Design a calm, practical garden for a client in their 50s with a light-sensitive, reactive dog, focusing on subtle, low-budget improvements rather than a full overhaul. Existing plants and hard landscaping were retained wherever possible.
Fragrant planting was introduced to help deter her dog from digging in borders, while a dedicated sandpit provides a positive, designated digging zone. Raised beds protect vulnerable planting, and simple stepping stones create an easy, intuitive route from patio to garden.
Soft, warm, low-glare lighting brings the space to life at night without causing distress, adding atmosphere and gentle guidance. A considered, sensory garden that works beautifully from day through to night — proving small changes can make a big difference.
