The original garden featured a predominantly lawned area with a traditional sandstone patio adjacent to the house. Our clients are enthusiastic gardeners and had recently completed planting in the border areas on either side, they were keen to see these integrated into the overall design as fully as possible.
We divided the garden into distinct zones to suit the family’s lifestyle: a sunny spot for morning coffee, a dining and outdoor kitchen area for entertaining, a relaxing evening space with a fire feature, and a large lawn retained for football and trampolining.
A spacious patio wraps around the house, allowing seamless access from the bifold doors to a generous outdoor kitchen and dining area, ideal for year-round entertaining. Surrounding planting softens and encloses the space, while a corten steel water feature, positioned in the central bed, adds a calming, natural ambience to both sides of the terrace. To the right, a raised patio offers a sunny morning coffee spot, nestled within lush planting. A stepping stone path guides you down the garden to a series of feature pergola arches and a vibrant, high-impact planting zone. These elements help to further screen views from neighbouring properties and subtly define the different patio areas. At the end of the path lies the evening retreat, designed for summer nights around the fire and to take advantage of the last of the evening sun. A swing chair faces both the children’s lawn area and the extended views toward the far end of this generously sized garden.
We had a large garden redesign done by Cube and I have to say their work has surpassed our expectations. You can see the quality in their workmanship and and the materials they use. The design work is exceptional. Excellent customer service throughout. They have made our garden dream into a reality – we can highly recommend!
