The clients had undertaken extensive renovations to the interior of their property and wanted their garden, which was in a state of disrepair, to match. The boundaries were a mishmash of different materials and the existing decking in such a state of decay that it was unusable. There were several levels in the space, in part dictated by ground level of the adjoining gardens. The clients wanted a complete overhaul of the space, with an area for dining and provision for storage.
To make the change in levels work for the client, this garden design is reorganised into three distinct levels.
Railway sleepers retain the existing soil of the rear garden area as well as making a larger bed to feature some plants and improve the view from the lounge doors.
The paving throughout the space is cream limestone effect porcelain slabs. Steps lead up to an area of lawn, with porcelain stepping stone tiles creating a pathway along the right hand side. Railway sleepers retain the existing trees, forming a raised bed to allow extra planting.
A slightly raised patio in the bottom right corner is large enough to place an outdoor sofa and fire pit. This area features an architectural chunky timber pergola, to provide support for the existing wisteria, with a beam jutting over the lawn to create a support from which to hang a swing seat. A railway sleeper bed at the rear of the garden manages the change in level in the rear corner.
The existing trees down the right hand boundary were kept in place and the left and rear boundaries are clad with bespoke hardwood timber slatted fences and Perspex panelling. The fence painted in a dark grey to match the perspex and provide a uniform border, perfect for planting against.
In the wide, side return we planted a flat top tree to create a courtyard feel. This creates a pretty canopy which is covered in fairy lights at night.
We also added a wide thin storage unit with double doors in this area, to provide some easily accessible storage. This was painted in the same dark grey as the fence and gate to help it blend into the background.
Planting in the garden is simple, strong and architectural with low maintenance evergreens sitting amongst long flowering herbaceous perennials.

This design draws on Moroccan influences and creates a well laid out space that is fresh and inviting. Flooring in the space consists of multi-coloured African slate laid in a stretcher pattern, interspersed with the occasional Moroccan floor tile. Under the kitchen window is a butcher block housing a Belfast sink allowing the client the opportunity for outside water. Directly outside the back door, flanked either side by flush planting beds, there is a railway sleeper sofa-style seat with bespoke waterproof cushions.
This area is enclosed with a purpose-built timber pergola with a rusted iron mesh ‘roof’. The main seating area of the garden consists of rendered block raised beds, painted white and adorned with a Moroccan tile border around the top, upon which L-shaped ‘suspended’ railway sleeper benches are fixed. This area also benefits from a railway sleeper table, a large, ornate Moroccan-style water fountain water feature against the right hand wall and a wrought iron chiminea in the back bed to serve as barbeque and heater. The existing large laurel was retained and the existing ivy was thinned and conditioned. The inclusion of a large tree fern at the entrance to the seating area makes a formal entrance to the space.
The remainder of the planting consists of oranges and greens with a selection of climbers, evergreens and herbaceous perennials selected to give year round interest. The space is completed by the inclusion of a comprehensive lighting scheme. The pergola is illuminated with a fairy light net over the top.
The main seating area benefits from stylish teak and stainless steel bollard lights installed on top of the raised bed walls and rope lights running along the underside of the seats, with a double weatherproof socket providing power for the client to plug in electrical equipment if required. Finally, a series of low voltage lights throughout the planting beds give the garden a subtle overall glow while serving to highlight individual plant specimens.
