Sightlines are one of the most important elements of a professional garden design. They determine how a garden is experienced and create a sense of cohesion between different spaces.
A line of sight can create a direct connection between the house and the garden, but it can also spark curiosity by deliberately concealing part of the garden.
Creating space through design
A garden doesn’t have to be large to feel spacious. By making clever use of lines, open spaces and vantage points, a garden can feel larger and more interesting.
A well-thought-out design ensures that every spot in the garden takes on its own significance.
The interplay between architecture and landscape
The architecture of a house often serves as the starting point for the lines in a garden. Linking these to the surrounding area creates a sense of tranquillity and balance.
Materials, planting and changes in level can reinforce this structure and create a natural transition between the home and the landscape.
Views through the seasons
A good line of sight isn’t just for the summer. By taking into account planting, light and structure, the garden remains interesting in other seasons too.
A professional garden design therefore looks beyond the initial impression. It is about the experience of the space over time.
A good garden design starts with a careful analysis of the site and your requirements. Find out how we go about personalised, bespoke garden designs.
Every design is the result of a meticulous process in which location, architecture and client requirements come together. Read more about our garden design process.
