Nordland LandscapesThis garden was overgrown and not used at all by the property owners. The homeowners wanted a contemporary courtyard that was family friendly and modern.
To achieve this, materials were chosen to match the stylish interior of the house. Also by using lighter coloured material we were able to brighten up the garden. The printed porcelain paving gave a contemporary modern feel whilst introducing added interest. Cedar batten fencing was used to clad the boundaries to minimise the oppressive feel of the high boundaries and to introduce more light into the garden.
The cedar timber floating bench now provides a place to sit and entertain. It is also the perfect height for the clients’ children to use as a play bench.
To brighten up the dull and dark corner by the french doors, the original steps were clad in beautiful blue and grey encaustic tiles to add much needed colour and interest in an area that had been previously neglected.
This contemporary courtyard is now bright and welcoming and used by the property owners and their children on a daily basis.
Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLCThese Queen Anne homeowners had completely remodeled their home and were looking for a low maintenance, enjoyable yard that would accentuate their views and provide outdoor space for their dogs. Another important goal was to attract birds and pollinators to the garden, in part for photographic opportunities. A series of Corten planters create planting space along the back property line while leaving plenty of room for artificial turf that the family dogs can enjoy. A recirculating urn water feature creates a pleasant sound, a focal point and most importantly, attracts birds to the garden. Privacy screens designed using OutDeco panels create interest on both sides and focus views to the mountains in the background. Front and backyards were completely redesigned for ease of maintenance.

Raised flower beds have been incorporated to ensure plants are easily accessible. Planters have also been included but its the plants which really shine. An awning provides some shade during warmer summer days. An outdoor heater has also been included for cooler nights. Bright red garden furniture provide a pop of colour. Low maintenance granite and artificial grass ensure there is no need for a lawn mower. The entire garden is low maintenance and easily accessible.

Christine Wilkie Garden DesignThis large, broadly flat rear garden already benefited from a swimming pool but there was little else of interest in the space leaving the pool looking a little disconnected from the house and surrounding garden. The owners were keen to create a new contemporary scheme with 'an Ibiza vibe' that would make a great space for summer pool parties. The design brief was to create a new, entertaining space featuring a large patio, including paving to the pool area, creating a cohesive space for the whole family to enjoy.
To provide a change in visual levels, raised beds were built to wrap around the pool and planted with a mix of low-maintenance perennials and grasses to add height, texture and movement. A lower-level raised bed was created for use as a herb garden nearest the patio/dining area. Large format porcelain paving tiles were chosen to deliver the modern look the client was seeking. The porcelain was extended to the pool itself with the old sandstone coping stones removed and replaced with bespoke porcelain pool copings to tie everything together.
Screening to the pool equipment was installed by extending fence panels, all of which were painted black on completion for a blended finish. A large, open expanse of lawn was deliberately retained for outdoor play while the borders were widened to allow the introduction of structural evergreens and herbaceous plants to increase the garden's overall visual appeal, especially when viewed via a large floor-to-ceiling atrium window.

Earth Designs Garden and Build London and EssexThis raised bed helped to make this garden of many levels work for the client.
The existing garden rambled over several level changes. We turned those into three distinct areas, with a patio for seating outside the back doors, a raised bed and lawn area and a raised bed at the rear.
