What we installed:

At Mad About Gardens, we transformed this challenging space into a beautiful, functional outdoor retreat:

– Installed raised borders and areas adjacent to lawns

– Created a garden featuring various ornamental grasses for movement and softness, complementing the angular modern design

– Planted parasol trees for shade and height on the patio

– Incorporated Corten steel raised planters for structure, harmonizing with the green, purple, and blue perennial flowers

– Used contrasting porcelain colors to define different areas, making the large patio appear more proportionate to the house and garden

Our clients were thrilled with the result, expressing amazement at the garden’s transformation. We look forward to continuing with the next phase in the coming year.
