Terraced Garden in Melton

Larger Garden

We were asked by the owners of this interesting, contemporary house in Melton to completely redesign the front and back gardens.  The brief was fairly straightforward – the new garden needs to be an oasis and must settle the house into its surroundings.

The sloping nature of the garden required retaining walls to create terraces with steps linking the levels together

The design of the house includes floor to ceiling windows, making the view into garden even more important.

These steps lead onto the upper lawn and a bench nestled amongst the palnting.

The steps from the lower terrace close to the bi-fold doors give a pleasant route around the garden.

A steel estate fence was installed across the upper retaining wall to prevent falls.

The main terrace in the lower portion of the garden – a generous size dining area surrounded by plants.

In the evening, subtle border lights bring a magical effect to the garden.

In the upper part of the garden, a bench is positioned to give a diiferent view of the garden.

Oak uprights have been used for the retaining wall together with an unusual ‘broken biscuit’ type surface beneath the bench.

Some of the new planting is semi mature which helps to give an immediate impact, the wisteria in the forground is already making its way up the pergola post.
