A Well Structured Garden

/

As the seasons change throughout the year, the one element that will keep your garden looking great is structure.

If we define structure, it is like the skeleton of the garden, the framework that we clothe in foliage and colour. A carefully planned structure for your garden will ensure this framework is effective in every season.

Structure will include both hard landscaping (paths, fences) and soft landscaping (plants). Feature trees and shrubs, decks, patios and paths, pergolas and outbuildings. These elements will need to all work together to form the spaces for you to utilize and  enjoy, visually and functionally.

Once a good structure is in place, the stage is set for colour, textures and themes to give the garden personality and bring it to life. Using, textures of paving and stones, styles of furniture and features, and a theme for planting that will become the glue that holds it all together.

Whether a property is a new build or an established home, elements are used from the existing landscape to form the first part of a well structured garden.

This beautifully structured garden was designed by Leisa Browne in 2005. The existing Copper Beech tree became the key focus which the rest of the new garden was designed around.
