Modern Steep terraced Garden (Small Garden)
Bromley Kent
Project current / fresh
A contemporary 2 level addition to a small, steep terraced garden, utilising more space and bringing together the existing deck and sandstone paved patio on the 2 upper levels.
The clients wanted a contemporary design for 2 new levels in their small steep terraced garden, which would utilise more space and bring together the existing deck and sandstone paved patio on the 2 upper levels.
We added contemporary horizontal fencing, a pergola and raised beds for added screening. We designed a built-in timber bench combined with steps in the new layout to make effective use of the small space. A new species rich small lawn for sunbathing immersed in soft planting and greenery. We used bamboos in large troughs for added screening for added for privacy on the existing patio.
In the second, lower level we made modifications to the old air raid shelter which was too solid to go anywhere! and blended it into the garden by adding a green roof, and seating around the side up against the wall. We included raised planters with edibles and espalier fruit trees and space for them to grow their own. To keep the ground surface as permeable as possible used sandstone pavers set in gravel.
Elements Included:
The planting scheme:
Bright, modern planting was used throughout, to make best use of the garden area.
Before we started:
This garden was in dire need of a makeover. It was tired, under-used and unwelcoming. A wasted space.
