Contemporary Chic Is the Wow Factor for This Garden in Newbury

From old and tired to contemporary and chic, this recent project will be an inspiration to those who crave a garden with sleek lines and effortless minimalism. It also has the added benefit of virtually no maintenance throughout the year – an ideal garden style for busy people!

Before and After:

Here’s a slider to show how we’ve transformed this garden:

New Garden Features:

This garden provides our client with a relaxing and open space to enjoy during the day with plenty of room for entertaining.  The L-shaped raised bed with built-in composite deck board bench is an attractive and practical focal point. At nightime the garden transitions beautifully into a welcoming sanctuary with a warm ambiance created by the clever placement of up lighting against the fence panels. 

Rectangular Lawn

• A large rectangular lawn in the centre of the garden has been laid using artificial turf. 
• In a garden with little colour, the lawn will provide important definition whatever the time of year.
• The lawn is easy maintenance – no more mowing for our client!

Rectangular Porcelain Paving

• The large rectangular porcelain paving continues the theme of sleek lines.
• The paving frames the lawn, creating a striking contrast with a clean sharp finish.
• The layout and use of rectangles cleverly makes the garden appear larger than it is.

Rendered Walls and Deck Board Seat

• The rendered walls of the corner raised bed with its composite deck board seat bring a modern look to the garden.
• Composite deck board is a relatively new landscaping material and is much more durable than its timber alternative.

Slatted Fencing

• New contemporary slatted fencing encloses the garden and is one of the fastest ways to bring a contemporary feel to any garden.

Minimal and Structural Planting

• The minimal and structural planting complement the straight lines of the hard landscaping.

Our clients worked closely with our designer Katie, to bring their vision to life. The result is a garden with the minimal look they wanted for their busy family, a garden that will last for many years with very little maintenance along the way.
