Low maintenance garden, Twickenham
A low maintenance garden in Twickenham for this busy young family.
Project overview
This young family needed a garden that suited their lifestyle, which was low maintenance and easy to upkeep whilst still having plants and a space they could spend time in and still enjoy. Paving an entire garden is not everyone cup of tea, but neither is looking after a small patch of lawn which is North facing.
Before and after
As the garden was north facing, keeping a lawn of any size was always going to be a struggle especially for a young and busy family. We transformed the garden by paving over the entire garden and keeping cut outs to allow plants to thrive and still allow nature back in.
Project overview
Given the garden’s north-facing orientation, maintaining a healthy lawn was always going to be a challenge, especially for a young, busy family. To address this, we transformed the space by paving over the entire garden, creating a durable and low-maintenance solution. However, we thoughtfully designed cut-outs within the paving to allow carefully selected plants to thrive, ensuring the garden retained a sense of greenery and connection to nature. This approach not only created a practical, easy-to-manage outdoor area but also invited nature back into the space, blending functionality with natural beauty.
