A Multi-Use Rear Garden In North London

This garden design and build project in Southgate, North London N14, has created a contemporary multi-use outdoor space. Features include a sunlit terrace with raised planting beds, a jasmine-covered pergola, a dining area with a Buddha water feature, an all-weather pergola, a gym and a utility area. Relaxed planting with perennials, shrubs and jasmine climbers enhances this safe and serene retreat. The south-facing garden combines functionality and beauty. It was designed by Malvina Bushi and Kathryn Cox and brought to life by our skilled landscape construction team.

Contemporary Sun Terrace

Flowing seamlessly from the interior, this newly designed rear paved terrace is a sun-filled retreat. Framed by raised planting beds brimming with sun-loving perennials, shrubs, and herbs, it creates a welcoming gateway to the lawn beyond. A contemporary pergola adorned with jasmine climbers offers a shaded corner to unwind and enjoy the view.

Rear Garden Living Space

This rear garden living space features an alfresco dining area complemented by a Buddha, water feature and bamboo-filled planters, creating a serene gathering environment. The closing pergola shelters outdoor sofas, providing a versatile breakout space for all seasons. This area also includes a gym, home studio, and utility section, maximising the functionality of a previously unused shady corner.

Garden Planting Design

The garden showcases a relaxed, naturalistic planting design, blending English cottage-style perennials and shrubs with ornamental features like a stone Buddha. Along the left boundary, jasmine climbers create a stunning green wall, adding texture and life to the space while enhancing its tranquil aesthetic.

Child and Pet-Friendly Garden Design

A spacious lawn was prioritised for children and pets to enjoy, while the planting scheme was carefully chosen for its safety, using non-toxic, soft-edged plants. A timber sliding gate was also installed, providing flexible control over access to the garden when needed.

Collaborating with our wonderful clients to bring their dream garden to life was a joy. The garden design combines striking aesthetics with premium landscaping and carefully chosen planting, creating a space that is as beautiful as it is functional. We focused on making the garden versatile by incorporating multi-use outdoor living spaces that cater to relaxation, entertainment and family activities. With landscaping features designed to be child- and pet-friendly, the garden seamlessly balances style with practicality, ensuring it can be enjoyed from morning to night.
