Residential Landscape Design

London And Hertfordshire

Residential landscape design involves planning and creating outdoor spaces around private homes to enhance beauty, functionality and value, resulting in a harmonious living environment. At Acacia Gardens, we provide bespoke landscape design throughout London and Hertfordshire, offering styles from modern and minimalist to lush cottage gardens, formal layouts, Mediterranean settings, and wildlife-friendly spaces. Our expert designers tailor each project to reflect your lifestyle and home’s architecture, creating the perfect outdoor living space for you.

Key Elements of Residential Landscape Design

A well-designed residential landscape begins with a thorough site analysis to ensure the plan complements the home’s architecture and natural surroundings. It should reflect the homeowner’s lifestyle, whether that means a low-maintenance garden, an entertaining space, or a child-friendly area. Hardscaping elements like patios, pathways, and decks provide structure, while softscaping, including trees, shrubs and flowers, adds seasonal beauty and character. The design incorporates functional areas for entertainment, relaxation, play, and outdoor dining tailored to specific needs. Water features and lighting enhance aesthetics and safety, while sustainable practices like native planting and efficient irrigation ensure an environmentally friendly, low-maintenance landscape.
