Client Profile: A sophisticated, frequent traveller seeking a low-maintenance garden oasis.

Brief:

– Create a low-maintenance garden resilient to salt-laden, windy coastal conditions

– Preserve sea views while ensuring privacy from neighboring properties

– Feature an olive tree as a focal point

– Implement a colour scheme of blue, purple, white, and green to complement the interior design

– Design a modern garden with angular lines and strong structural elements

What We Installed:

To meet our client’s vision, we undertook the following:

– Soil Improvement: We removed unsuitable clay soil and enriched the area with high-quality compost and topsoil. The lawn is a wildlife friendly Clover lawn.

– Drainage Solution: A soak-away system was installed to manage water effectively.

– Modern Paving: Light grey porcelain tiles were laid to create a contemporary patio area.

– Structural Elements: We incorporated stepping stones, small hedging, and lollipop topiaries to add structure and visual interest.

– Coastal-Friendly Planting: Evergreen shrubs suited to coastal conditions were planted to maintain year-round appeal.

– Focal Point: An olive tree was strategically placed as requested by the client.

– Color Scheme: Plants were carefully selected to reflect the desired blue, purple, white, and green palette.

The result is a modern, low-maintenance garden that thrives in its coastal setting while providing privacy and year-round enjoyment for our clients.
