Amit & pav's modern garden in Watford
Amit & Pav had recently bought a property in Watford. After spending many hours and weeks transforming the new home their attention led to the garden. With the arrival of their new baby Shai they wanted a garden that would allow space for games but a clean modern feel to match the home. The home had a clean new look of cream render with black frames and pipe work.
I advised Amit to match these colours within the landscaping to lock the two entities together. To achieve this I proposed a combination of cream render to match the home and black slate paving. The slate would create a new patio and lead into pathways framing the garden. New landscaped gardens should always combine the styles of the home and enhance the preferred styles and tastes of the client. There is always a crucial need to fulfil a new garden designs functional attributes.
A Functional garden space
In Amit & Pav’s case they wanted storage, lawn for play, and a spacious patio for social gatherings. The existing concrete patio area was lower than the rest of the garden. An awkwardly shaped, broken retaining wall separated these two levels. Due to most terraced properties being a little squeezed for space I proposed an organic, curved patio which carved into the raised lawn area.
The new, curved retaining double wall will act as seating and capped with intricately cut slate. This would allow communal seating providing opportunities for a central focus. This could be a circular table fire pit or even barbecue space. The seating wall also reduces the need for buying extra garden seating which can limit patio space.

The storage area has been kept to the rear of the garden consisting of a concrete pad surrounded by slate paving. While laying the new patio we discovered ribbons of gold through the paving. We decided to cut out the largest piece and mount it on the facade of the new wall.
