Urban & Town Garden Design

Urban gardens have to work hard providing space for planting, entertainment and relaxation.

Restricted by available space, design and planning are of paramount importance to ensure that the available area is well used, and that the materials and planting are used wisely to ensure that the space does not become cluttered.

Urban garden design approaches vary, but most gardens are treated as functional spaces or green oases. A design could incorporate the clever use of materials to make a garden appear as an extension of the living space, and use vertical planting to soften edges and maximising floor space.

The effective use of lighting can provide an additional room in which to entertain and dine alfresco with family and friends.
