The Before.

Another early start today. Up and out at 6:30 for a long drive north to meet with clients about 90 miles away. They live in a lovely house overlooking the silvery Tay river.

I've designed a contemporary courtyard garden for them and today we were meeting to discuss the many final details in preparation for the build starting in the next few weeks.

This is Steve - the client's brother - who's a landscaper and has come up all the way from Sussex. He's going to make this garden beautiful.

So this is how it looks now. Like a bomb site. I like a good Before photo - the After can surely only be better!
