This urban garden was overlooked from all angles, a new build garden with little interest. The client’s brief was to provide some subtle privacy, attractive planting, areas for entertaining and relaxing, and a play space for their new baby. Cube designed a curved garden to enhance the space available for planting and entertaining whilst allowing a small lawn area for play. Slatted fence panels were used as alternating features to break up the feeling of enclosure. Trachelospermum jasminoide was trained onto the facing feature panel to soften the screen. Dicksonia Antartica Ferns were placed in the corners for subtle shade from the surrounding properties. The Ferns were then underplanted with a mixture of grasses and flowering perennials. A bespoke water-feature was formed as part of the feature fencing, creating an ambient sound to wash away any distractions from the relaxing space. Natural sandstone paving was chosen for a clean contemporary look. The curves delicately separated the patio into entertaining and relaxing areas. Soft lighting was evenly placed around the garden to enhance the focal points and extend the hours of entertaining.
‘We would like to say how pleased we are with our garden. Many thanks to you and your team. You all worked so hard and it was a pleasure to have you here working. Many people have stopped to say how nice it all looks. We wish you all the best in your future work. ‘
‘I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cube. Simply…if you want the best, you hire the best.’
‘A quick note to say how delighted we are with our major garden transformation. It was hard to imagine how it would look, despite Sean’s beautiful plans and design, and even up to the point of just needing to put the turf in, it still took some imagining. But now it is amazing, super colours and features, height from the Pergola, and the sunken patio is warm, sheltered and catches the evening sun. You are a great bunch of people, friendly, polite and hard working, and did a fantastic job of keeping mess to a minimum and clearing up afterwards, I think the garage is cleaner now than before you started! Sean’s eye for detail and high standards definitely shows, and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you. Thank you.’
