This small urban garden is a low maintenance green oasis, that perfectly blends naturalistic look with functionality. A central semi-circular patio area made from dark grey, clay pavers works as a sun trap and leads to the house which is surrounded by lush planting and trees including two Amelanchiers flanking the central patio. The boundary walls were painted in dark grey colour to give an element of sophistication and to highlight the lime green, white and blue tonal plants so they appear to bounce off the background throughout the seasons. The exterior wall of the house got dressed with a semi-circular planting bed and vertical stainless steel wires to add another dimension and soften the back wall of the house. This green oasis is a prime area to enjoy a relaxing evening with a G&T!
