Where to start…
The first steps of your garden design journey are to establish the types of functions and features that you would like to settle into your landscape. If you’re not quite sure about the types of features that you would be looking to include then this is where a garden designer is an essential piece of your project. Opening your eyes to a mixture of versatile features and striking materials, a garden designer will discuss the options best suited to your needs and your garden’s surrounding environment.
Throughout your consultation, a garden designer will guide you through a series of hard and soft landscaping features. Let’s explore a few of them!
Hard landscaping features
If you’re looking to transform your garden into a flourishing social space, designed to include idyllic dining areas and cosy seating spots then hard landscaping features are going to be a big part of your design.
The perfect location for hosting garden parties or for placing a sheltered pergola, an expansive paved space is always a great feature to include within any garden design. Used to frame a stylish outdoor kitchen space, including a versatile paved area into your garden is a fabulous way to enjoy your garden throughout the year.
If you’re looking to thread sustainability throughout your garden design then a thriving kitchen garden filled with an abundance of crisp home-grown produce is an essential feature to consider settling within your landscape. Providing you with an assortment of nutrient-rich ingredients, a kitchen garden is an incredibly rewarding feature to establish in your landscape that can be installed, maintained and cared for by our experienced team.
To create the most fluid garden scene that guides you from feature to feature, our hard landscaping team use a variety of luxurious landscaping techniques. From crisp gravel chip pathways to staggered stepping stones, there are a range of stylish materials that our hard-landscaping team can use to frame the most glorious and graceful garden scenes.
