In Whiteley, a homeowner came to us with a vision for their serene and charming residence in the picturesque area. Their garden, while brimming with potential, was yet to realise its full glory. The land, characterised by its noticeable slope, was predominantly adorned with a blanket of fresh turf. The green area was only broken by a small patio, like the ones found in new houses.
The homeowner’s predicament was not uncommon. Many new properties come with gardens that are essentially blank canvases, waiting for the touch of skilled landscape gardeners to transform them.
While the slope presented certain challenges, it also offered unique opportunities for design and innovation. The gradient of the land, the natural sunlight patterns and the existing turf and patio setup provided a foundation upon which we could build. The homeowner’s desire was clear: to elevate this space from its current state of simplicity to a garden oasis that would serve as both a personal retreat and a space for social gatherings.
With this vision in mind, our team of Whiteley landscape gardeners set out to craft a plan that would not only address the garden’s challenges but also enhance its inherent beauty.
With Whiteley landscape gardeners available, the homeowner’s objectives were distinct and well-thought-out:
• Build a circular porcelain patio that surrounds part of the garden, creating a seamless and flowing outdoor space. Using strong and stylish porcelain for the patio would make it look high-quality and last a long time.
• To even out the sloping terrain in the upper part of the garden, a wall needs to be built. This wall will serve as a structural addition. By building a wall, the garden can be divided into different levels, creating a flat area on top for landscaping.
• Lay turf in the newly levelled area: Once the top section was levelled, the plan was to introduce fresh, green turf. This would create a vibrant contrast against the porcelain patio and offer a soft, natural space for relaxation and play.
• The homeowner wanted to create an extra patio area with porcelain tiles. This patio area would be specifically for a future pergola. This space would serve as a shaded retreat, perfect for outdoor dining or lounging.
• To add more charm, a sleeper planter edging can be placed in the top area. This will give the garden a rustic touch and clearly define the boundaries of the turfed area. This would not only enhance the garden’s aesthetics but also provide a functional space for planting flowers or shrubs.
The transformation of the garden was a testament to the thoughtful design and expert execution of our Whiteley landscape gardeners. From a sloping terrain that lacked character, the space evolved into a multi-functional garden haven, exuding both charm and utility. It’s perfect for relaxing, having barbecues and small gatherings. It can also be improved with pergola additions in the future.
The homeowner expressed immense satisfaction, especially noting the artful blend of modern and rustic elements. The sleek porcelain patios, with their contemporary vibe, were perfectly balanced by the verdant expanse of the lush turf. This green oasis, in turn, was framed exquisitely by the rustic sleeper planter edging, adding depth and texture to the landscape. The garden’s appearance and usefulness improved, making it a beloved part of the home.
