Contemporary City Garden

The creation of a Contemporary City Garden reflecting the lifestyle of the clients and character of their new build executive home. With no grass, a series of spaces to relax, reflect and entertain are formed.

Clean, simple lines, a restrained palette of plants and thoughtful hard landscaping create a seamless link between indoors and outside. Blocks of planting are used to delineate the areas and a mixed pallet of complimenting materials in muted colours provide texture and form to the garden - Siberian Larch, composite decking, Egyptian limestone linear blocks, large format porcelain paving and cotswold gravel. Textured planting - ornamental grasses, evergreen shrubs and bold perennials - provide year‑round interest with minimal upkeep. Discreet lighting, built‑in seating and timber screens boost privacy while keeping the area feeling open and airy. The result is a stylish, low‑maintenance garden that suits modern life: practical for daily use, ideal for entertaining friends, and quietly elegant within the city setting.
