Stylish contemporary family garden in Tooting Bec, designed by Ali Boyd and constructed by The Garden Builders, with beautiful mixed planting, generous open space and attractive relaxation areas. Typical of south London gardens, this family-friendly outdoors environment has dedicated functional areas for seating and entertainment and children's play.

The contemporary scheme features a vibrant interplay of soft and hardscaping, simple, clean lines and geometric forms, focal trees and perimeter shrub planting. The garden is divided into three areas - a paved terrace by the house looks out to a huge lawn, which then leads to a striking pergola with fashionable, modern furniture.

Porcelain paving gives the terrace a sleek, elegant look that complements the wide glass doors of the property, seamlessly connecting the indoors and the outdoors. Porcelain tiles also provide strength and durability to the terrace, standing up to tough outdoor conditions.

They are resistant to scratching and easy to clean and maintain as well. A matching fire table provides warmth and ambient lighting during colder weather. Contemporary outdoor sofas create a cozy, inviting family area for relaxation and entertainment. The huge lawn is laid with artificial grass, doubling as a play area for children. Artificial grass provides a safe, low-maintenance play surface for children.
