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.
