In the centre of Berkhamsted, an existing Victorian house, sits on a site to impress and overlook… set in a conservation area – a Heritage asset. The recently renovated and extended property had been completed and the gardens needed to match the high standards demanded by the property. Client Brief - “Our property looks amazing and we love it… but we don’t love our garden”. The immediate transition from the front garden to the back verged on the impossible. We need a rear garden courtyard terrace and a sensible materials choice to keep in line with the contemporary nature of the house and at the same time respect the Victorian Architecture. Design - In this instance, the hard landscaping dictated the initial direction for this project. Due to the uneven nature of the exiting landscape, it was essential that a raised structure was needed to create a courtyard terrace. This being the immediately usable garden space in the private courtyard to the rear of the property. A low maintenance material was considered and Millboard composite decking was the material of choice due to the texture and colour available. The detailing had to be exact, fully finished to the perimeter with trims and fascia. To accommodate the Specimen trees, Cornus Kousa ‘China Girl’, circles were created in the decking, lined with steel edging and hidden containers under the decking to accommodate the roots. These circles were offset by simple yet stylish steel water bowls… Japanese in concept and quintessentially English in design. The steep elevations were overcome by a careful design step arrangement, handmade paving units in Olive by Vande Mortel. Karl Harrison said “I always love using clay pavers as an element within my designs due to the fact they are so directional and have a way of drawing your eyes to where you want them to go. Also, this particular colour somehow manages to be both contemporary and classic at the same time”. The star of this show is the custom fabricated planters, a feature in themselves. Simple in form but complex to manufacture and deliver. The galvanized steel flower bed border was a first for this style of retaining feature. Normal bricks or a planter of some description is normally used, in this instance, the design did take over and delivered… The horticultural element of this garden design leant itself to a consistent planting scheme, a plethora of the same planting complimenting arrangement proves its worth in a contemporary style. Grasses and ferns allowed us to create a sea of texture, Carex Morrowii “Ice Dance”, Aplenium Scolopendrium, Polystichum Munitum, Dryopteris Wallichiana, Digitalis Purpurea Alba.

Remplie d'une vibration zen joyeuse, cette pièce verte offre l'expérience d'un voyage entre Sichuan et Bali. L'admiration de la propriétaire pour les pandas nous a inspiré pour dessiner des lignes fluides d'aménagement avec des galets. L'eau n'aurait pas pu être omise; elle circule librement depuis une pièce en bamboo dans un petit étang avec des poissons et une végétation aquatique. Le site à moitié ombragé est dominé par des fougères géantes, des bambous parapluie et des bananiers. Un banc en bois fait sur mesure et un deck accentuent l'émotion "hygger" du lieu. Gardénias, jasmins étoilés et sarcocoques relèvent la palette avec leurs parfums enivrants. Transfigurée par un éclairage théâtral réglable, vue depuis l'intérieur et depuis l'extérieur, la scène nocturne fascine.

Garden with a Raised Bed and Decking Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your front garden design.

How should I design my back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
