We can’t talk about gadgets and functionality without mentioning light fixtures. To ensure that our clients never have to say that it’s ‘Too cold to sit outside!’ we often install discreet, wall-mounted heaters. Even if you aren’t one to host parties, it’s still important that you’re able to use your outdoor space year-round. For clients who like to entertain, we’ve installed remote-controlled sound systems, wood-fired pizza ovens and even fully-equipped outdoor kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Garden Ideas For Modern Living While the overall look of a contemporary garden is achieved through design, modern technology can help transform poorly utilised space into an outdoor living area, or even an outdoor cinema. It’s sleek in design, small in size, and encourages relaxation as all water features should.
More and more we’re being asked to develop new and innovative solutions which have, for example, led us to create this bespoke ‘letterbox’ fountain. Clients with a bit more space have opted for larger sphere fountains that act as a centrepiece in their garden. They add movement to any space without being an eyesore. Because contemporary garden design involves clean lines, we’ve helped clients replace old fashioned fountains with glass or stainless steel water walls, for example. But, things have changed! Especially when creating modern outdoor spaces, our design experts are keen to experiment with new and exciting options. New Age Water Features It used to be that garden water features were limited to ornate cherub fountains. We’ve even created a beautiful privacy screen out of French Lavender for one of our city-dwelling clients. Clients looking for creative solutions to fencing should see the work we’ve done with red cedar battens and glass and mirrored balustrades. We gave a garden in Uxbridge an urban chic makeover by tearing down their standard brick wall and instead of putting up a rendered white garden wall. It’s nearly indestructible, low-maintenance, and - most importantly - undeniably modern looking. For this detached home in Ruislip, we replaced a wooden deck with composite decking. Put simply: It’s the materials that are most important when striving for this streamlined look. Hard Garden Landscaping Features Where textured woods and randomly placed stones are reminiscent of quaint cottage gardens, smooth finishes and muted colours represent the contemporary garden. We also use repeated patterns of trees and shrubs in regular intervals to create cohesive front and back gardens. By using strong and stylized plants like bamboo, Buxus, needle grasses and Euphorbia, we’ve created neat, tidy gardens with a clear structure.
While - of course - you can achieve this through building design and architecture, you can also achieve it through the organisation of plants and flowers. Create Structure Through Plants Modern gardens are all about crisp, clean geometric lines.
