Front Gardens

The Challenge 

​

Front gardens bring their own specific challenges.  Functionality is often the prime concern – with off road parking of increasingly bigger cars & growing families meaning more and more vehicles.

 

Adding kerb appeal to the functionality, choosing the most appropriate materials & dealing with practical challenges, like access, drainage, boundaries & levels often make front gardens interesting projects.

 

The Solution

​

Using strong geometry & softening paving with planting & considering the key principles of simplicity and unity (with the house & surroundings) will usually result in a good front garden design.

Dealing with rainwater run-off is an important consideration, which reputable contractors will always show has been considered.

Attention should also be given to access on & off the driveway, security & lighting.
