Contemporary Walled Garden
“Rebecca truly captured our vision for the garden. Every element of the garden from the choice of plants to the layout of paths was thoughtfully considered and meticulously planned. We couldn't be happier with the results.” Simon & Rebecca, Little Waldingfield
The rear garden of this beautiful barn conversion was a little unloved with some overgrown trees and shrubs and an unstable concrete patio. The clients wanted a contemporary space for family living with a Mediterranean feel.
A generous dining area and covered modular kitchen near to the house makes entertaining friends and family a pleasure. Generous planting beds surround, providing a sense of privacy and beautiful views through the large rear windows.
A large lounge area is located away from the main patio, enabling alternative views of the garden. Here shade is provided with a bespoke steel and wire pergola, which will eventually be covered in evergreen scented Star Jasmine, and complemented by a stylish fire bowl. A further intimate bistro seating space catches the morning sun.
Limestone-effect porcelain paving provides a stunning and practical surface outside the house and is elevated with natural Limestone pavers for the paths and a ‘rug’ detail in the dining area.
A central bed with tall Miscanthus, Verbena and Echinacea creates further screening and a sense of surprise in this rectangular garden. Elsewhere the combination of ornamental grasses with drought-tolerant plants, such as Lavender, Geranium and Nepeta will ensure good coverage throughout the year, scent, and food for pollinators.
