Following extensive building improvements to their property the client requested a modern, functional garden which provided a perfect extension to the house. By adding bi-fold doors in the existing lounge an equal threshold patio was requested. One boundary required some higher screening and an outdoor cooking/dining area was high on the list of requirements.
This design required different materials to zone the four planned areas. A sleek grey porcelain and a modern blue brick paver were the two main flooring materials. The main porcelain patio was raised to the inside floor level and this connected to a slightly raised seating area covered with a modern pergola. The prominent boundaries are now an attractive balance of horizontal slatted redwood and composite panels with the addition on one side of five Japanese Privet trees. A rendered raised bed complete with a blade water feature provides a focal point to the central lawn area.
Client’s Review –The best thing we did was employ a proper designer to get the most out of our budget. Jon has created an oasis/paradise in our small town garden. The final design is stunning and a beautiful place to spend after a hard day at work. Jon is very creative and a pleasure to work with. We can’t speak highly enough of the whole process. Thank you Jon and our landscaper Andy for producing such a high quality and beautiful one-off design of such a high standard, we are truly grateful and would highly recommend both to anyone who is thinking of designing their garden in future.
