Having recently completed a major renovation to the back of the house with new bifold doors, our clients wanted their tired and overgrown garden to become a beautiful backdrop to their new family room.

They wanted a large patio to use as an extension of the existing kitchen. A pathway to retain access to the large shed space the bottom of the garden and to revamp the planting and the unsightly fence.

The new design will twisted the layout of the garden on an angle to create the illusion of a much bigger space

Next to the house a porcelain tile patio laid in a stretched pattern at 45 degrees to pushes out the boundaries to make it seem wider.

Features include a wide fibreglass trough planter with 'floating' timber bench, framed by a sheet of grey Perspex Naturals attached to the existing fence to give a contemporary finish.

The centre of the garden features an artificial lawn running at an angle, bisected by two rectangular railway sleeper raised beds to break up the space. An the existing bamboo relocated to provide privacy to the seating area and screen-off the children's trampoline.
At the rear of the garden is a smaller porcelain patio for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails.

Details include a section in the patio laid with wood effect porcelain tiles to create contrast. Fences painted in dark grey Cuprinol Garden Shades and textured planting with a mixture of shades of greens to give the
garden year round interest.
