Mid-sized modern full sun formal garden in Bari with natural stone pavers and a metal fence for spring.

Origin Architectural recently had the pleasure of helping a couple from Lewisham in South East London. They have a lovely patio where they can enjoy the sun, but they were looking for a short run of balustrade to block the wind, without spending a lot of money. The couple’s options were very open as the patio only had a small drop, less than a foot. Due to not having to take building regulations into consideration, and wanting a balustrade without spending too much, the obvious choice was the Viola system. The customers are extremely happy with the result and say that the Viola balustrade is exactly what they were looking for.

Casa vacanze al lago

Alberto Gualla

Bellissimo progetto per il giardino di una casa vacanze sul Lago d'Orta. Abbiamo ricreato un angolo di paradiso, dedicato al solo relax. abbiamo ricreato un sentiero con camminamento in legno che porta ad un' area living coperta da una pergola con tavolino in vetro e ferro battuto e sedie, una zona all'ombra naturale degli alberi e poi delle aiuole dalle forme morbide e arrotondate con cordoli in corten che contengono prevalentemente graminacee e perenni. Il giardino presenterà diverse fioriture durante tutto l'anno. Non mancheranno colori e profumi in ogni stagione.

Urban Design + Build

This landscape design showcases a harmonious integration of natural rock formations and a variety of plant life to create a serene and inviting garden space. The focal point is a flowing water feature that meanders through the arrangement, with carefully placed rocks and boulders that mimic a natural stream. Above, the vibrant sky peeks through lush, towering greenery, adding a dynamic background. The garden beds are densely planted with a mix of textures and colors, including purple flowering ground cover, striking yucca plants with their sword-like leaves, and cascading greenery of a weeping conifer. The pathways are neatly outlined with lighter stones, contrasting with the darker mulch and rich green lawn. This inviting outdoor area seems perfect for relaxation and contemplation, enhanced by the soothing sounds of the water feature and the secluded, private feel offered by the tall plants and trees. The overall effect is one of a meticulously designed landscape that combines elements of a rock garden, water garden, and an ornamental garden with a diverse palette of plants.

Nuove idee per un vecchio giardino

Alberto Gualla

Riqualifica di un vecchio giardino. I nostri clienti hanno deciso di voler modificare il vecchio progetto. Abbiamo ingrandito la zona pavimentata con autobloccanti perchè hanno realizzato che necessitavano di una zona living più ampia dove poter inserire un barbeque ed un tavolo più grande che potesse ospitare più commensali. In più abbiamo aggiunto un gazebo in ferro battuto che verrà adibito a zona relax con divano e tavolino. Per garantire il relax, due gelsomini rampicanti che oltre alla bellezza e all'eleganza dei loro fiori, sprigioneranno un profumo che pervaderà l'intero giardino. Abbiamo realizzato delle fioriere in cemento che faranno da contorno a tutta la zona living e doneranno la giusta privacy per godere del giardino in tutti i momenti della giornata. Colorano di lilla invece, tutto il perimetro della casa, una lunga fila di lavande alternate ad hermerocallis. Completano la cornice i loropetalum e le azalee.

Modern Garden Design Ideas with a Metal Fence

Get Inspired by Modern 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 modern 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 a Modern Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a modern 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 a modern 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 modern 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.
