Contemporary Urban Garden - Dublin 5


Background - The clients had just completed an extension to their home. They needed a new garden which would reflect their home and extend their living space outdoors. The garden was south facing and not overlooked, a great starting point.


Brief - A low maintenance garden. Contemporary style with clean lines. They needed a place to relax in the evening after work and wanted something different! Outdoor lighting for entertaining and it had to be  visually stimulating from the view of their kitchen. A lawn area to be included but it had to be artificial.


Garden Design - I wanted this garden to be spacious but interesting. It needed to have character but not be too dominant.  I used a series of square and rectangle shapes to create multiple raised planters and seating areas. The paving material and colour choice was key to the design as all the elements had to blend together well. As the house had large glass windows i had to be careful not to block the view yet i needed to wrap the planting beds around the seating area to soften the hard landscaping with a nice variety of plants.
The plant choice  i used was a combination of wild natural grasses with formal structural box cubes and balls. There is also a selection of all year round perennials to add flowering interest.
The garden received a great reaction from their family and friends and i hope they have many good times in their garden!
