Glasgow West: Contemporary Garden Design in Anniesland
Filed under Garden Design Portfolio SeriesJul 27
Welcome to another project article in our Garden Design Portfolio Series. This garden has been designed by Nicky Patterson and will be built by the team of garden designers and landscapers at GardenImprovements.com.
The design was commissioned by Nicky K from a new build townhouse property in Anniesland in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland.
His brief required:
- Somewhere to relax after a days work
- A stylish and contemprary design with some light colours
- Simple and low maintenance planting
- A water feature
- Some lighting
- A small lawn area
This design is for the new build property which have been left unturfed with bare soil and with a slight gradient up towards the back fence from the house.
It is quite a narrow garden and so my initial idea was to bring in some shape and create the sense of space through use of circles and curved lines. The basis of the design centres around a circular lawn which dominates the middle area of the garden but is then subdued by the inclusion of tree trunk disks and segmentation by a water rill which springs from a water feature at the top left corner of the garden, runs underneath the deck and then disappears at the house.
The use of pale sandstone will brighten the area and provide the perfect entertainment patio for Nick and Wendy to enjoy some evening dinner in the relative style and comfort of their new garden.
A lemon-shaped deck provides the perfect platform for a couple of loungers which will catch the last of the evening sun and the interaction of the water feature will create a pleasant environment in which the clients can enjoy a glass of wine.
The decked area will bring raised by about 2ft from the level of the lawn thus creating a cascade waterfall feature in front of stone filled gabion cages which allow the water to trickle into the rill. The use of subtle planting and beach pebble creates a seaside effect and we can introduce some height interest through the use of cypress trees down the right hand side.
The low retaining wall will slope from the height of the deck down to the height of the paving thus dealing with the height difference within the garden and allowing for several terraces within the space; one for the patio, one for the lawn and one for the deck.
