Creating Stunning Vistas: A Garden Transformation at Hood Avenue
At MRLandscapes, we take pride in crafting gardens that not only reflect our clients’ visions but also enhance the beauty of their homes. Our recent project on Hood Avenue is a perfect example of how a carefully designed outdoor space can transform the way you experience your garden from inside and out.
The Brief
For this garden, the client’s new kitchen diner extension meant that vistas and visual impact were key to the design. We began by removing the old, tired lawn to create a more structured space, filled with interest and charm. By introducing distinct zones and layering in a heavy mix of lush planting, we were able to create a dynamic space that looks stunning from every angle.
The Design
A central feature of this garden is a striking circular patio, framed by a cascading sleeper surround that adds both height and character to the space. The resin-bound path and stepping stone journey lead through the garden beds, creating a sense of discovery and inviting exploration. We incorporated vista frame windows to further enhance the height and structure, giving the garden an architectural edge.
One of our favourite features is the multi-stemmed silver birch, cleverly positioned to help bring the outdoors right into the heart of the kitchen. This tree, combined with the heady mix of seasonal planting, creates year-round interest, ensuring that the garden is always a visual delight.
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
The outdoor dining area is another highlight, designed with porcelain stone from Mandarin Stone and edged in fine detail. It provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining, whether it’s a morning coffee or a summer evening meal with friends. The materials and layout were chosen to not only be practical but also to complement the home’s style and surroundings.
A Garden to Be Enjoyed All Year Round
This garden has truly reached its full potential, with each element carefully considered to create a harmonious space that flows effortlessly from indoors to out. The planting evolves with the seasons, and the design ensures that no corner is overlooked, making it a favourite among our team and, most importantly, our clients.
If you’re inspired by this transformation and want to bring new life to your outdoor space, now is the perfect time to book your consultation. We are currently taking bookings for autumn and winter garden builds.
