“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in…” said Victor Hugo, expressing the common view that there are few delights in life to exceed that of meandering through a lovely landscaped garden and admiring with every sense all the colors and textures and fragrances the lush surroundings have to offer.

Have you ever thought what the garden would be like without a walkway from which to enjoy it? How would one move so seamlessly throughout the design if thought were not given to this rudimentary perhaps, but intrinsically crucial part of the scheme?

• Curving lines – For a gentler, softer, more subtle atmosphere in your Main Line landscape design, undulating curves at once create a dreamy informal style.
