Palmerstown

Project Description

This was an old 1950s corner site back garden that was completely overgrown. The garden had an odd shape and was set out on different levels that made it unusable. The brief was to create a contemporary walled courtyard garden with raised walled beds, a central water feature and a space for outdoor entertaining with a new summerhouse. The materials used were black natural granite paving and Kilsaran Inish charcoal cobble to add some interest to the paving. Grey Donegal quartz was used to build the walled beds and to construct a contemporary bespoke water feature with water blade. Artificial grass was used to create a green carpet in front of the water feature and to create a focal point in the garden. Planting was lush and exotic and included tree ferns, large bamboo and Arelia elata. Garden lighting was also installed to highlight specimen planting and to uplight the water feature.
