This once uninspiring and hard-to-maintain urban garden has been reimagined as a beautifully structured, futureproof outdoor space tailored to my elderly client’s long-term comfort and independence. The design features raised beds that make gardening effortless, supported by a carefully selected palette of low-maintenance, year-round planting to ensure lasting colour, texture, and seasonal interest.

A louvered pergola provides adaptable shade and protection, making the garden enjoyable in all weather conditions—an essential feature for modern urban living. High-quality limestone paving, natural timber cladding, and a boldly painted fence create a timeless yet vibrant aesthetic that elevates this compact city space. A decorative screen at the rear introduces depth and serves as a striking focal point, adding visual interest without increasing maintenance.

This low-maintenance, thoughtful garden design has truly transformed my client’s daily life. Tasks are now manageable, time spent outdoors has increased, and caring for the plants has become a genuine source of joy.
