Garden Terrace Design
Llevelo Garden Design was pleased to be appointed to design a new terrace for clients in Raydon, Suffolk. The terrace was a relatively small part of a larger garden. With prominent views from the house and the new garden room, it would be well used and frequently seen.
The client requested a modern style of hard landscaping but with more traditional, cottage inspired, planting. They were also keen to include plenty of colour. When a terrace is this close to a home, year round structure and a good proportion of evergreen planting is always advisable.
Llevelo designed two areas; one for dining and a second for informal seating. Using planting around the hard landscaping, the large terrace was reduced in presence. A beautiful multi-stem tree was planted in the centre of the terrace too. This softened the view of the house from the garden room and vice versa.
‘The best project we’ve ever done!’
Creating Evening ambiance
We spend so much time and effort on our gardens so at Llevelo, we like to ensure they look good day and night. Soft uplights on this evergreen tree will mean there is a focal point throughout the evening and throughout the year.
A nearby dining area will offer additional seating when the clients host larger groups.
Focal Points
These stylish sculptures are nestled in low level planting. They create the perfect focal point from the home and new terrace.
A sculpture will offer a focal point from all areas within the kitchen garden; aligning with the two entrance points it will be easily spotted as soon as you walk into the garden.
Along one side of this kitchen garden is a pergola structure. Espaliered fruit trees will be trained over the arches to create a fun and unique feature. In the centre will be an informal seating area which will offer a partially shaded spot to retreat to.
The garden will be enclosed by a simple wicker fence which will allow views out to the remaining garden as well as views in when passing by.
