Low Maintenance Garden

This medium-sized garden is designed to be low maintenance while still feeling soft, welcoming and well considered. Porcelain paving creates a clean, durable surface that anchors the space and connects seamlessly to the house. A timber pergola defines the seating area, adding structure and shade without heaviness.

Planting is tactile and informal, with lavender, salvias and nepeta providing scent, movement and long flowering seasons, balanced by the steady presence of pittosporums. Raised beds with tiled cladding add texture and clarity to the layout. Artificial grass completes the scheme, keeping upkeep simple while maintaining a calm, green backdrop throughout the year.
