The Brief & Vision
The brief from our client was to transform established border structures into a cohesive, Japanese inspired landscape that balances bold focal points with serene natural elements. The space was revitalised by integrating themed specimen trees and striking architectural features, creating a garden that feels both curated and tranquil.
Our Design Approach
To achieve an authentic yet modern aesthetic, our team worked with existing border structures as the foundation for a more elevated design. We introduced a selection of themed specimen trees to provide varied texture and height, while a stylish central water feature serves as the garden's rhythmic centre. A Maldon shell decorative binder was chosen for the ground cover, providing a crisp, neutral palette that allows the vibrant red of the ornamental features to stand out with clarity.
The Installation & Craftsmanship
Precision was paramount in the installation of the two bold ornamental bridges, which act as sculptural links across the landscape. To provide an elegant solution for boundary screening, we supplied and positioned a series of planted galvanised troughs. These chic, industrial containers, paired with carefully selected greenery, create a modern living screen against the fence line. Every element, from the placement of the large boulders to the fine metal edging, was executed with the meticulous attention to detail synonymous with Longstock Park Landscapes.
The Finished Result
The result is a visually attractive, multi dimensional garden that offers a sense of calm and character. By harmonising the industrial feel of galvanised steel with the organic warmth of timber and stone, we have created a unique outdoor environment. It stands as a testament to our team's ability to interpret a specific stylistic brief and deliver a high quality, professional finish that transforms the client’s garden view.
