Modern Retro Style and planting

Looking back at the house from the end of this modern retro garden you can see how the garden design reflects the interior style, creating harmony and symmetry between the two spaces.

This garden is all about creating a fun, safe environment for kids to learn and play. Log steppers and boulders of varying heights encourage the young ones to test their balance, while mini railway sleepers provide a place to rest and chat. And what playground would be complete without a mud kitchen!

The Sun and his Flowers pt 2

Botanica Domestica

Per questo giardino mi sono ispirata all’immagine di una radura di montagna. Un giardino che evolve e cambia con il tempo, a seconda delle stagioni. Un giardino dinamico e in trasformazione. Le specie utilizzate sono state scelte tutte in base alla loro capacità di avere sempre un elemento caratteristico e d’interesse in ogni stagione. Prendiamo ad esempio il Malus floribunda, il melo da fiore giapponese, particolarmente apprezzato soprattutto per la sua ricca fioritura primaverile di boccioli rossi e fiori rosa pallido, ma altrettanto interessante quando in autunno riempie la sua chioma di piccole e sferiche mele gialle selvatiche. Il concept genrale rimane quindi il cambiamento, la continua scoperta e meraviglia, quella che ti porta a controllare tutti i giorni anche la più piccola modifica: il nuovo fiore appena sbocciato, il risveglio di una ramo dal freddo inverno, la prima foglia che inizia a perdere colore.ome elementi principali del giardino troviamo appunto il Malus Floribunda ad angolo, la fila di ortensie con le sue infiorescenze bianche che tendono al verde lime che fanno da sfondo, due Sarcococca Hookeriana nella varietà humilis per creare più varietà con le altezze e, vicino al cancello d’ingresso, un Agapanthus con le sue inforescenze pallide e sferiche. Per sfruttare la parte laterale della cancellata, e grazie alla protezione data dal Malus, si arrampicano pigramente una pianta di more e una di lamponi. Per il resto delle piante e fiori presenti in girardino ho pensato di sfruttare le molteplici possibilità che danno le piante annuali, le bulbose e le sementi di fiori misti. Creando, così, delle aiuole miste che si allungano dagli elementi principali verso il centro del giardino, cercando pian piano di conquistarlo.

Outdoor living in Santa Luz

Jesse York, Landscape Designer

Upon purchasing their new home, the homeowners were faced with a backyard that was entirely overgrown and not fit for use. With aspirations of extending their indoor living to the outdoors, they envisioned adding a pool to cater to their family's love for swimming and their fondness for hosting gatherings. The final design transformed the space into a highly functional and fashionable outdoor oasis, featuring a pool and spa complemented by a natural rock water feature, a Trex sun deck, a cozy fire pit with ample seating, a BBQ island complete with a bar top for outdoor dining, and a spacious covered patio attached to the back of the house.

Small space, Big ideas

BE Landscape Design

This growing family needed to maximize their outdoor space. BE Landscape Design, elevated the Master BR deck, and fire-pit, designed a multi level BBQ for easy access to both lounge and dining areas. The retaining wall was removed and replaced with a nook for a built in dining bench. The large retaining wall was painted graphite grey, and faced with sturdy 'stallion wire' to support scented and flowering vines. The hillside was planted with native and shade tolerant plants.

From this unique viewpoint, you can see how the pergola and kitchen fit effortlessly into the space and how the wildflower planting softens the garden. This image was taken five months after planting and installation.

Barton Hills Contemporary Curb Appeal

Native Edge Landscape

After this home was completely rebuilt in the established Barton Hills neighborhood, the landscape needed a reboot to match the new modern/contemporary house. To update the style, we replaced the cracked solid driveway with concrete ribbons and gravel that lines up with the garage. We built a retaining to hold back the sloped, problematic front yard. This leveled out a buffer space of plantings near the curb helping to create a welcoming accent for guests. We also introduced a comfortable pathway to transition through the yard into the new courtyard space, balancing out the scale of the house with the landscape.

The Lodge, Fulham Cemetery (Grand Designs)

Harry Holding Studio

Bold planting in the front garden for an innovative property in Fulham Cemetery - the house featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs in January 2021. The design had to enhance the relationship with the bold, contemporary architecture and open up a dialogue with the wild green space beyond its boundaries. Seen here in the height of summer, this space is an immersive walk through a naturalistic and pollinator rich planting scheme.

Contemporary Garden Design Ideas with a Metal Fence

Get Inspired by Contemporary Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own contemporary garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Contemporary Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a contemporary garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a contemporary garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your contemporary garden design.
