Making the most of a small urban space
Friday, September 2nd, 2011
A carefully controlled minimalist design has transformed this nondescript backyard into a superb modern space for relaxing and entertaining. The fencing and decking are made of solid cedar wood, as are the built-in benches. The latter have removable tops so that their inner space can be used for storage.
Concealed lighting means that the garden can be used well into the evening and an irrigation system has been installed to minimise maintenance.
The planting scheme is strong and simple, using reliable, robust plants which will largely look after themselves.
The ‘before’ picture – a sunny spot with lots of potential!
