Central to the garden will be a number of pathways that interconnect the sections of the garden. The main pathways will be laid in September but we have sections of lawn that need replacing with paths immediately around the house and which need to connect terracing. So, some hard work was required digging out the turf, preparing the base for each path and then digging small trenches that we planted with box to edge the pathways. These box hedges, which have been planted with small quite young box, will soon develop into strong curving lines and structures.
It has been difficult matching the decorative aggregate which has been used on the driveway. After much searching, it is in fact a Cotswold chipping from a quarry called Horcott in the Southern Cotswolds. 10mm will do the job on the pathways. Now completed and given time for the box to grow I think the effect will be great.
