Southside Reinvented
Transforming this medium-sized garden in Newlands came with its unique set of challenges. The central patio needed to be extended and structurally supported with retaining work. A new pergola and cosy sitting area were designed to complement the existing summer house at the back. An elegant, low-maintenance planting scheme was essential. To enhance functionality, we incorporated an outdoor lighting scheme and a thoughtfully designed path to connect the patios and the summer house seamlessly. Finally, creating a secure, fenced area at the back ensured a safe and dedicated space for the family dog. We successfully designed this project by:
Extending and opening the central patio to the rest of the garden with wide, porcelain slab steps.
An additional square patio out of brick pavers was built to the side of the main patio to add rustic charm and maintain the neighbourhood's aesthetic.
Laying a gravel path with brick paver inlays to the back of the house.
The summer house was connected to a gym at the rear corner of the plot, with an additional sitting area and a fenced area for the dog.
Applying a semi-formal planting scheme and outdoor lighting.
