Split Level Garden Design
“We had a rough idea of what we wanted but couldn’t quite pull it together. Gary helped turn it into an actual plan. The whole process felt straightforward and collaborative.” Helen C
This redesign tackled the upper & lower patio areas in this garden, with a stylish set of steps, with our custom designed handrail, connecting the two levels.
Privacy was a requirement as was covering the existing retaining walls with a new surface. There was to be a BBQ area, raised planters & a small water feature.
Batten screening was used to hide some of the unsightly fence paneling as well as for privacy screening.
An overhead plan view with notes allows us to clearly show all the proposed elements of a garden design.
Porcelain paving was specified for the upper patio & Indian sandstone paving was a nice contrast and gave a softer feel to the lower area.
The planting requirement was minimal, but easy to maintain, being in raised beds or planting troughs.
3d Visuals of the proposed garden layout, are essential in this scenario we feel, as they make the visualisation of the proposed layout clear to the client as well as being a useful tool for the build phase.
Extra views of the garden are always useful & once the garden is designed in 3D, requested additional views or close-ups are simply a mouse click away !
3D visuals of the proposed new stair layout, provided clarity to what was proposed.
A CAD style plan of the steps was needed for the custom balustrade manufacturer & was helpful too in the accurate construction of the steps.
A setting-out plan was useful for the few, but critical dimensions that were required for the build.
A few more photos !
Veneer walling was used to cover what was an unsightly brick retaining wall & cedar batten screening used for privacy – it looks great too!
The upper terrace area looks fantastic at night, with down lighters highlighting the cedar batten screening beautifully.
The Landscapers did an excellent job of building & rendering the bespoke curved step design, as well as installing the custom designed handrailing.
