CASE STUDY - WINTERBORNE KINGSTON
A luxury view day or night
A luxury view day or night
This garden offered a great opportunity for a design and build that captures what D Henson Landscapes strives to produce.
The Brief
The brief for this garden was have the layout set at 45 degrees to the house, including key elements such as an area to sit in the morning sun with a coffee, a main patio to accommodate a dining table, chairs and a BBQ all whilst being able to enjoy the view from the hot tub whether by day or evening.
The Project
Again, working closely with the client, a carefully chosen palette of materials were considered for this design which provided real scope for detailed installation of them.
Two contrasting colours of granite were used within the paving scheme for this garden. The darker of the two reflected that used as copings to the contemporary raised boarders.
Millboard smoked oak decking was chosen for the surface leading you from both sets of patio doors to hot tub. Raising this surface gave elevation to this somewhat flat garden.
Raised planters were introduced to the corner of this layout presenting a strong focal point from within the house and garden. Vertical hardwood posts provided further structure to the backdrop of the planting scheme.
It was key that the garden could be enjoyed well into the evenings, therefore lighting was also incorporated within the construction alongside a stainless steel water feature which, once lit up adds to the magic when remotely switched on from inside the house.
The garden was then completed with a new lawn and an amazing planting scheme created by plant expert Michelle Brown.
