The
Brief:
The
clients had a huge garden. The first area of concern was the front
garden which had recently had a new driveway built along with a new
deck area. Between these were large expanses of lawn lined with large
boulders and nothing of great interest. The clients wanted the focus to
the view beyond as well as some interest being added to the garden.
The
Design:
Due
to the size of the garden it was split into three phases. Phase 1
tackled the front garden. It was decided that one of the rows of
boulders needed to be moved to open the garden up. This created a
proper lawn area and with substantial planting created a secret garden
feel. A row of cherry trees either side of the main path created an
avenue leading to the deck and a journey around the garden. This
resulted in the view being the focal point from the deck rather than
looking straight over to the driveway.
A
Contemporary Garden for Entertaining in Tullibody
The
Brief:
The
clients wanted a contemporary garden which they could use for
relaxing and
entertaining. They wanted a central seating point along with a BBQ area
and to
keep some lawn. The design would need to be low maintenance.
The
Design:
A
bespoke seating area was designed, incorporating lighting, planting
and a
white render/timber finish. A similarly finished BBQ area was designed
to
complement the seating. Straight lines and symmetry are key to this
design with
a central, slate path dividing the lawn and lined with stylish
contemporary
containers. At the side of each lawn is a raised bed finished with
sleepers,
complemented by seating made from sleepers at the BBQ area. Two
existing palm
trees, underlit, are the focal point of this design, placed either side
of the
BBQ. Planting is low maintenance and includes structural planting such
as
bamboos, phormium, agave and the palm tree. Colour is added through
herbaceous
such as cynara cardunculus, alliums and primula vialii. Lighting and
garden
speakers are included in the design meaning the garden can be used into
the
evening, perfect for entertaining.
