Minnetonka Barn/Home look-alike

Garden Structures & More

This project consist of a very large privacy fence system and two arbors with attached trellises. What I think I have accomplished here is a good marriage between the garden structure and the home. The home itself in what we call its "previous life" was a real operating barn. The attached photos that I have taken for this display show both before and after shots of the home and surrounding grounds.

Pergola

Sunrise Landscapes

Client requested additional landscaping, a firepit, seating area, and pergola for existing porch to extend the living space as they had family over often and needed a updated outdoor space. A 2D drawing was created showing the layout of the seating area, pergola, and planting beds. The legend on the plan shows the plant selection so the client can confirm they are satisfied with all the plants and locations. The pergola was fashioned from rough cut cedar and held together with Simpson Strong Tie decorative powder coated hardware and stained to give it a warmer feel that fit the space. The seating area and fire pit was designed to reach out into the yard towards the forested area per the clients request and create a space for family gatherings to enjoy even on colder nights. Landscape lighting was added around the seating area and cafe lights were strung on the pergola to allow for the space to be enjoyed at night. Flowerbeds were added around the existing patio and seating area to soften the hardscape areas. The side of the house served as a deer trail through the area down to the creek behind the house so care was needed to select deer resistant plantings for the design.

Chiltern Garden Design

Courtyard garden forming part of a larger country back garden. Areas are zoned using warm honeyed sandstone paving and rich tones of clay pavers toning in with the house, picking out paths across and along the courtyard to main entrances and exits. Soft perennial and shrub planting in shades of blue, white and lemon softens the spaces, whilst a traditional oak pergola covered with scented wisteria and jasmine creates a comfortable space to dine outdoors.

Sarah J Hatherill

Garden room design for Spalding based plant raise. Design brief was for the space to be multi functional, with multi use areas for children and adults alike. Fabrics and wallpapers were designed bespoke for the project, and multi functional pieces, such as the desk/mini pool table, were commissioned by local artisan makers. The exercise bike was also designed so that it powered the stand when used, generating a sustainable element to the project.

Get Inspired by Arts and Crafts Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own arts and crafts garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create an Arts and Crafts Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes an arts and crafts garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for an arts and crafts garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your arts and crafts garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
