A Calming Japanese Style Garden Transformation

Before and after photos of a family garden in West Acton that we recently completed. The clients wanted to revamp the space following house renovations and had asked for some Japanese styled elements to be included to provide a calming feel to the space along with a large lawn for the kids to play football and revamped borders. Would love to know what you think.

Comments (34)Hi I would put a planted green screen of a nice flowering hedge which also has berries in the winter like Berberis. It will give you privacy and its not totally solid as a fence or wall would be and will give a much softer look. It also gives security as it has small prickly barbs You say your window sills are too narrow to take window boxes so why not put a nice long wrought iron planter under the full width of the window, attach to the wall, (It looks like the windows are quite low) or if not put a free standing planter under the window. I would not get rid of the front lawn and just have concrete slabs as you already have all the drive paved, it will just look like to much concrete and harsh unless you add some plants or create maybe a circular flower bed Too much concrete prevents good drainage too Adding a porch would be a great idea, perhaps just glass which will give a modern contemporary feel Also once you have changed that paint colour it will look a lot better...See MoreStatement wallpaper – have you braved it?

Comments (45)I would personally forget about painting the fence. Not because I like the orange, but because I'm lazy and I would rather invest my time and money in plants and soil (improvement of) and big planters or raised beds if you're going for that. If you plant climbers against the fence, most of it will be hidden anyway. And if your plants get larger, they will hide most of the fence too. I have solar powered lights in my garden and they give a lovely atmosphere at night. Mine are from Ikea. I have fairy lights along a fence and different kinds of lights that you can just put anywhere you like. Would be lovely to dot some lights around in your garden too....See More
