This small city garden nestled among Islington’s terrace houses was a blank canvas awaiting transformation. Our client, a busy lady, sought to extend her living space into the outdoors.
We elevated the garden with a raised composite decking platform, creating a modern and comfortable area for relaxation. A floating L-shaped bench seamlessly integrated into the design provided ample seating.
Around the decking, raised planting beds featured a mix of grasses, evergreen shrubs, and perennials, ensuring year-round appeal. Pleached trees along the edges added privacy and softened up the space.
Cedar horizontal slats discreetly covered an unsightly wall, while a striking tree fern became the garden’s focal point. Subtle garden lighting enhanced the ambiance, making this retreat perfect for both day and night.
