Ideal Gardens
The Smart Bloom
This stylish and functional front garden has been designed to create a welcoming entrance, while showcasing the latest smart gardening solutions.
Bordered by beautiful, crafted wooden planters filled with timeless flowers for year-round structure and seasonal charm. Beyond aesthetics, the garden highlights cutting-edge technology for the modern gardener, including a robotic lawnmower for effortless lawn care and a clever irrigation system integrated with rainwater harvesting.
The design balances elegance and practicality, creating a garden that not only enhances the home's kerb appeal, but offers a vision of how technology can transform outdoor spaces and create a warm welcome for guests and passers-by alike.
From Patch to Plate
Growing your own food can be one of the most rewarding changes you can make towards leading a more sustainable lifestyle.
Forget the traditional vegetable patch and reimagine a space that’s both glamorous and multi-functional – your very own outdoor sanctuary!
Centred around large raised beds brimming with thriving seedlings and vibrant produce, each bed has been thoughtfully arranged to demonstrate clever touches, such as plant supports, protective mini weather covers, elegant labels, and practical cloches. At the heart of the design is a sleek greenhouse that provides a practical space for year-round growing – blending seamlessly with a rustic dining table to enjoy the fruits of your labour while enjoying alfresco meals.
Up Your Game
Fun and sociable – Pickleball is sweeping across the UK and fast becoming the must-have addition to a residential garden.
This clever design highlights how a compact court sits snug and effortlessly into your alfresco space – blending in with other zoned areas including a classic outdoor kitchen, funky bar, hot tub and the ultimate in wellbeing – an ice bath!
This multi-functional concept redefines how modern gardens can be used, while also promoting a healthy and sociable lifestyle, all in a stylish and welcoming space that’s perfect for post-match celebrations.
Sleep, Move, Escape
Leading off the main bedroom, this area of the garden is the perfect blend of relaxation and wellness.
Featuring a stylish open-air freestanding bath providing a spa-like retreat just steps from nature.
Adjacent to the bathing area, a dedicated wellness room invites you to unwind and rejuvenate, complete with a Fold Pilates Reformer bed for stretching, strengthening, and mindful movement. Surrounded by lush greenery and designed with tranquility and relaxation in mind, this private sanctuary is an idyllic escape for self-care and holistic well-being in today’s hectic lifestyle.
