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.
