ARCADIA GARDEN Ландшафтная Студия

Особенностью этого старого семейного поместья. площадью 35 соток, является нахождение в черте города Красногорска, а не на охраняемой территории КП. Поэтому максимальная приватность была главным требованием хозяев. Новый главный дом делит участок на две территории-старую с оставленным старым домом и новую, созданную с нуля. Наш проект затронул обе территории и мы заботливо включили в планировку имеющиеся взрослые растения, много растений пересадили. Объем пересадок не оказался пугающим, так как опыт питомника позволил это сделать быстро и грамотно. Наш проект отразил идею создания уединенного оазиса в регулярном стиле, хорошо изолированного кулисами из крупномеров вдоль заборов. Зоны сада, окружающие новый дом развивают тему кружевных партеров, которые объединяют разные группы растений и включают в себя два имеющиеся очень крупных дерева - липу и клен. Дорожки по нашему проекту выполнены из куртинского гранита-в цвет цоколя. Широкий удобный въезд подходит прямо к главному входу. Результат нашей работы - изысканно структурированный сад с французским флером и пышностью английских цветников, ведь хозяева очень любят цветы. В регулярной южной части сада аллейные посадки лиственных и хвойных торжественно обрамляют расположенные по оси фасада прямоугольные лужайки, а цветущие кустарники и многолетники создают романтичную атмосферу своей природной формой и изящностью соцветий. Все наши крупномеры- черные сосны, тсуги, пихты, кедры удивительно органично вписались в среду с крупными лесными деревьями соседних участков. А акцентые стриженные растения сразу стали новыми фаворитами. В гамме посадок преобладают бело-розовые оттенки. Декоративность сада в межсезонье сильно выигрывает от наличия хвойных бордюров. Лиственные кустарники в бордюрах мы использовали только за заборами. Но в среднем и верхнем ярусе сад достаточно динамичен- осенью вспыхивают оттенками меди и пурпура бересклеты и ирги. Цветущие кустарники и большой ассортимент многолетников дарит радость с весны до поздней осени. Зоны отдыха у дома еще предстоит оснастить новой мебелью, чтобы открылись новые возможности пребывания в саду. Невероятно графичным сад становится поздней осенью, когда вся скелетная красота ветвей выходит на сцену благодаря подсветке, мы используем светильники на стойках, работающие всю зиму!

Edible Urban Oasis

SCJ Studio Landscape Architecture

In south Seattle, a tiny backyard garden needed a makeover to add usability and create a sitting area for entertaining. Raised garden beds for edible plants provide the transition between the existing deck and new patio below, eliminating the need for a railing. A firepit provides the focal point for the new patio. Angles create drama and direct flow to the steel stairs and gate. Photo credits, Mark Garff.

The view into the vegetable garden illustrates the integration of burgundy foliage into the landscape, a new weeping redbud provides a counter point to a mature Japanese maple. Within the raised bluestone planters herbs and vegetables mix with flowers while espalier fruit trees screen the fence.

Contemporary Cottage garden.

Yorkshire Gardens

Nestled within the Pennines, it’s hard to believe this idyllic country garden was once a public toilet. Demolished a few years ago, the land had been left neglected and was in serious need of refurbishment. We were asked to create a contemporary cottage garden, which was still in keeping with the rustic, rural architecture surrounding. We achieved this by adopting a heritage colour scheme. Foxgloves, allium and delphinium add subtle splashes of purple to the luscious flower borders. The stone patio and paths compliment the traditional oak decking and raised vegetables beds, while also adding texture. The addition of bright pots and painted lattice fence enhance this vibrant space as well as making interesting features. This once disused plot has now been transformed into a tranquil garden, which is modern yet perfectly harmonising with the surrounding cottages.

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.
