Small but Mighty

Juniper Design

After downsizing from a large acreage, this client wants to put the lawnmower away for good. Entertaining and growing food are top priority, so a ground level 16'x12' deck dominates the space. Mixed edible and ornamental plantings surround the entertaining space for a tranquil and calming atmosphere. Small, urban yards can still be very productive. Mixing a variety of edible and pollinator plants makes this yard an urban oasis. Head over to my instagram page (bowvalleylandscape) to follow along on the install!

Garden Design - London

Karo and Co Interiors Ltd

Heavily overgrown back yard has been transformed into a beautiful modern relaxing garden. With our garden design expertice and garden planning, we included a variation of grass, scrubs and trees suitable for medium size area to create low maintenance garden borders with an instant impact and movement. By adding new garden paving and and painting fences in matt anthracite we created a modern garden perfect for a house in the city. This design is suitable for small or medium garden planning.

Completed in early summer 2019, a main feature of this small London garden is the central tapestry lawn. The clients were after a space that was very seasonal, full of flower and immersive. A pairing of one partner’s desire for an architectural feel to the overall garden and the other’s more natural, slight desire for wilderness was how the wildflower meadow become a central feature, yet was retained by a crisp framework of hard materials. The newly renovated house / extension had an overriding crisp and modern feel, using stacked Petersen bricks for the façade which we used as the basis for our material palette. The upper terrace is formed of English Yorkstone to create a space for a couple of lounge chairs to sit below the canopy of an umbrella shaped Amelanchier tree and be looking towards the ponds through the ever-changing wildflower lawn. A clipped framework of a Hornbeam hedge that runs alongside the Yorkstone path, leads you to a lower more shaded gravel area, planted with a combination of different more shade and water loving plants. A gravel opening allows a couple of chairs to be positioned overlooking the water, and an option of a fire pit for warming cooler evenings. The view from the inside of the house was key and the clients wished to feel that they could experience the British seasons. Amongst the wildflowers, scented, flowering shrubs are planted that are visible when the meadow is cut down, and provide a structural feel through the winter months. These bushy shrubs also help to create a feeling of privacy when inside. This project architects were Michel Schranz - Design + Architecture. Photography by Richard Bloom Photography.

The client wanted a garden with a variety of entertaining areas and one that could be used all year round. We included a heated gazebo for the colder days and nights along with two other seating areas. The client also wanted a low maintenance garden as so we used porcelain birch effect tiles instead of timber to create a 'decking' effect area and this matched the rest of the porcelain tiles we used. There were walk ways between each area and low maintenance planting to complete the look.

Get Inspired by 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 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 Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a 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 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!

Need some help?

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 garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
