LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS
DESIGNING A LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN
This garden area had to be low maintenance , as the client travelled a lot for work .
The colour of the property itself was graphite grey with white render , so the garden had to tie in nicely with the aesthetic of the home exterior .
The fencing and doors to the outdoor kitchen were made up of treated roofing battens , and the rendered concrete block work to create the flower beds were painted white to match the rest of the style of the property . Grey granite patio slabs were used for the flooring area - another low maintenance option for the client that would , overtime , blend with the fencing as it ages into a silver colour .
Frameless glass railing matched other areas of the property and was added to the design to give a modern contemporary look which is not only safe for the multilevels found within the garden area , but also when fitted with floor spotlights creates mood lighting perfect for a relaxed atmosphere on summer evenings . The flower beds were also fitted with a Gardena irrigation system , to ensure the plants selected were watered frequently , along with additional subtle mood lighting which highlights the area further .
