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.
‘Thank you very much for a job well done. If any potential customers with a similar size garden want to see the finished product you are quite welcome to bring them here. Hopefully we will have a decent summer next year so that Jennifer and I will get to enjoy your handy-work.’
