Project Overview

This garden in Hertford was designed to create a calm, tranquil outdoor space for our client and his elderly parents. The brief focused on combining beauty with practicality, ensuring the garden was both accessible and easy to enjoy throughout the seasons.

A Tranquil Garden Design

Landesigns developed carefully considered levels within the garden using high-quality materials and thoughtful detailing that came together to form a peaceful environment that feels welcoming and restorative. The result is a garden that supports relaxation, connection, and everyday use, while remaining timeless in both design and construction.

This garden is a thoughtful balance of contemporary garden design and traditional craftsmanship, where natural materials and clean detailing come together seamlessly.

Hard Landscaping & Stone Walls

Hand-crafted paddle stone walls provide texture, warmth, and a strong sense of place, grounding the space with character and heritage. These are complemented by beautifully laid limestone paving, chosen for its soft tones and timeless appeal, creating elegant, flowing surfaces that feel both refined and inviting.

Bespoke coping stones add a subtle layer of craftsmanship, carefully detailed to enhance the architecture of the garden while providing a crisp, tailored finish. In contrast, sleek glass balustrades introduce a modern edge, allowing uninterrupted views of the pond and bringing a sense of openness and light to the space.

Finished Result

The result is a garden that feels considered and enduring. A contemporary garden design that is rooted in tradition, with every element working in harmony to create a calm, cohesive outdoor environment.
