Following the build of our client’s new family house, we designed a garden to compliment the new contemporary home and incorporate some key aspects of this family garden. This included the addition of a swimming pool spanning over two levels, a pool house for use as a gym, a putting green and large central lawn of a size to still be able to hold a marquee for events and parties.
Incorporating areas of existing planting and adding to these to create a more colourful and lush garden, we worked to improve the existing soil conditions and chose plants to give structure and seasonal interest. Overall we worked to improve the flow of movement around the garden, increasing the widths of paths, steps and planting beds to improve the proportions of the garden space over the two levels.
Ensuring good drainage was key to allowing a healthy lawn and planting, where previously plants had failed we looked to add additional drainage materials and ensure plant choice was made to reflect this naturally wetter ground.
We worked on the front garden to add new evergreen hedges and screening with some key trees for sculptural interest.
Thanks to the team at Landscape Associates for building this beautiful garden.
