This fresh urban garden design caters to a young family who wanted both gardens and areas for children to play freely.

The front of the house, we enhanced the sense of arrival with simple perennial plantings framing the front porch thereby creating a warm and inviting entrance.

Inspired by woodlands, the rear garden underwent a significant transformation, converting the once all-lawn area into a cohesive arrangement of plantings that create distinct garden spaces, akin to individual rooms. A spacious paved seating area greets guests, and the addition of a firepit offers a cozy spot for gatherings with family and friends. Designing this project has been an absolute pleasure.
