Why it is important to start planning your garden early on during a renovation
When you’re planning to renovate a property or build a new one, the focus is often on the interior and the architecture. However, it’s particularly important at this stage to take the garden into account at an early stage.
The outdoor space forms a direct link to the house. By designing the garden and the architecture together from the outset, the result is a whole that feels natural.
The garden as an extension of the home
A garden is not just a separate feature surrounding a house. The positioning of windows, doors, patios and sightlines has a major influence on how the outdoor space is experienced.
By thinking about the garden whilst the renovation is still underway, key decisions can be better coordinated.
For example:
- the transition from indoors to outdoors;
- the location of terraces;
- differences in height;
- lighting;
- choice of materials;
- View from the house.
More opportunities by starting early
If work on a garden design only begins after the renovation, some options are already limited. By getting involved at an early stage, we can make the most of the site’s full potential.
This results in a design in which home, landscape and lifestyle come together.
Collaboration with the architect and contractors
An early garden design facilitates better collaboration between all parties involved. The choices made for the house and the garden complement one another rather than being separate from one another.
During the construction phase, we work with specialist partners to ensure that the design is implemented with the utmost care.
A comprehensive design in which everything fits together perfectly
The most beautiful outdoor spaces are created when architecture and landscape are considered together from the outset.
By incorporating the garden into the overall design, you create a space that is not only beautiful, but also feels natural and will bring enjoyment for years to come.
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.
