Contemporary Garden Design with a Summery Twist

Brief

The garden is currently well presented, with a large lawn and a large patio adjoining the house used for entertaining.

Following a visit to a garden show for the purchase of a summer house, the client has now decided to re-design the bottom of the garden to accommodate a summerhouse and make it a more usable space to enjoy the late evening sun.

Solution

The majority of the space will remain as is, including the existing patio.

The client’s newly purchased summerhouse will be erected on the left hand side of this area, giving that contemporary garden feel with a summery twist.

Stepping stones will lead to the swing area.

The central area at the back of the garden will be laid with a curved sandstone patio with a circle inlay in a contrasting colour.

The highest point of new wall will form the back of a one metre crescent shaped raised pool, which will feed into a lower pool, and in turn will pour into a pebble-filled rill at ground level.

The existing shed will be screened by a bespoke Corten steel panel in a pattern of the client’s choice, with a lovely looking planting bed at the front.
