The focal point of this garden is two curved pools which are separated by a marsh area and a brick path way pathway. The brick path way path curves in stark contrast to the horizontal coping stones, while the herringbone paving adds texture and interest. Privacy is created by the brick path way Wall topped with trellis. A corner shed has been stained dark brown so that it is less noticeable. The planting is simple and informal and the background highlights the effectiveness of the vibrant colorful flowers. This garden is refreshingly uncomplicated, while remaining both colorful and spacious, given its small area.
The arrangement of paving units in a path can subtly affect the speed at which you walk. A uniform grain along the path—for example, that created by brick path ways laid lengthwise in stretcher bond—can seem to hurry you on, whereas a less directional pattern will encourage a slower pace. The treatment may be chosen to suit the purpose of the path—a "slow" path where there is plenty to admire, a "faster" path where the aim is simply to provide access to another part of the garden.
