Wheathill Close, Leamington Spa

Brief

Create a low maintenance, high wow factor garden for a busy family who work hard, play hard…

Before
The existing rear elevation – what you see is what you get…
This typical ‘common or garden’ space had no mystery about it – huge lawn, mature shrubs and a whopping great hot tub. Time to get creative.
Final Sketch Plan
After a number of different ideas were produced, the clients finally settled on this simple scheme, which strikes a good balance between bold planting, lawn and hard landscaping.

Early Concept

Bold planting, strong geometry, a contemporary outdoor fireplace and pleached trees provide privacy and wow factor

Finished Garden

This relaxed seating terrace nestled within planting leads to the concealed hot tub, which is sunken and surrounded with Millboard decking
Low maintenance, drought tolerant plants make for an airy romantic planting pallette.

Resin-bound gravel offering a low maintenance, comfortable clean aesthetic for the path to the hot tub
