New build garden, Oxford
Working with a new build garden
is always a pleasure, as the space
rarely requires more than a quick
clear out. This garden belonging to
a new build three storey home was
designed by Sarah Naybour and took
approximately three weeks to complete,
with a budget of approximately £20,000.
The initial stages of this project
involved organising the different
garden levels and preparing the base
for the raised beds and the patio. The
paving used is Black Granite from Hard
Scape. Sometimes a dark paving can be
overpowering in a smaller garden, but
here it worked fantastically. Sarah and
the client envisaged the garden to be an
extension of their home, with the patio
doors from the kitchen diner opening
out onto an outdoor calm oasis.
The garden also features white rendered
raised beds containing tropical plants
and palm trees. The beds were one
of the more challenging elements
of the garden to complete but they
were definitely worth it once they were
finished.
The artificial grass used is Easigrass
Mayfair, making the garden as low
maintenance as possible.
The screening surrounding the garden
is painted softwood. The subtle grey
colour further adds to the modern and
sophisticated feel of the space.
Finally, we added a superb selection of
lights which compliment the garden
beautifully and allow the client to
continue to enjoy the garden long into
a summer’s evening.
