Process highlights

Design approach:


Expansive raised porcelain patio - serving as the centrepiece of the garden. High-quality porcelain tiles were used to create a sleek, contemporary look, offering both durability and ease of maintenance. The patio includes built-in planters, which introduce greenery and soften the hardscaping. The elevated aspect adds depth and dimension, making the garden feel larger and more defined.

Redesigned steps for improved safety - The original patio had dangerously steep steps, which were redesigned to provide a safer and more comfortable transition between garden levels. The new design ensures easy access to the raised patio area, addressing previous safety concerns.

Maximising garden square footage with planting and turfing - The garden’s footprint was optimised through careful reworking of the planting areas and lawn. Fresh turf was laid to create a soft, open area for relaxation, while a new planting scheme added texture, colour, and structure. The arrangement of plants complements the modern patio, achieving a balanced blend of hard and soft landscaping.

Spacious relaxation area - The transformation resulted in a large, versatile relaxation space ideal for outdoor dining, socialising, or unwinding. The combination of the raised porcelain patio, new lawn, and vibrant planting ensures the garden is visually appealing and highly functional.

Results

Outcome: 


This Kingston Riverside garden transformation turned an underwhelming, unsafe outdoor space into a sleek, modern retreat. The design offers ample room for relaxation and entertainment while enhancing both safety and style.
