Client Brief and Vision
Our clients, a retired couple, sought a garden that offered aesthetic appeal without the burden of ongoing maintenance. With a spacious garden full of potential, they envisioned a clean, modern design that would provide a beautiful view from their home while being entirely practical for their lifestyle.
Design Highlights
To meet their requirements, we created a sleek, low-maintenance garden featuring:
-
Grey Porcelain Paving: The entire garden was paved with elegant grey porcelain slabs, creating a uniform, polished look that is both durable and easy to maintain.
-
Real Grass Section with Porcelain Black Tile Border: A small, central patch of real grass was retained to add a touch of greenery. This area was bordered with striking black porcelain tiles, adding contrast and a defined focal point to the space.
-
Shed Installation: A compact shed was assembled and painted to complement the overall design, neatly tucked into the corner to provide functional storage.
The Final Result
This garden transformation beautifully balances simplicity and style. The expansive grey porcelain paving ensures effortless upkeep while offering a modern and sophisticated look. The bordered grass section introduces a pop of natural greenery, creating a striking yet subtle focal point.
By addressing the couple’s need for a low-maintenance solution, the finished garden provides a serene and elegant outdoor space that enhances their view and suits their lifestyle. This project showcases how even the simplest designs can achieve stunning results with the right materials and thoughtful planning.
