FEATURED PROJECT | Brighton Garden

Nestled on a tranquil corner in Brighton, a serene oasis unfolds. NBLA crafted this garden to cater to the life and leisure of a young family. With a fervent love for their garden, the client now relishes its beauty from certain vantage points inside their recently renovated home.

Undoubtedly, a feature of this garden is the approach from the side path to the rear of the property which suddenly opens up to a vast expanse of green. Immediately the eye is drawn to the path’s final destination, a floating concrete bench seat atop a staggered-edge corner of Arrowmill Technifirma paving.

This garden features a meticulously groomed RTF tall fescue lawn, expertly double-mowed creating a lovely diagonal pattern. The garden beds thrive with an informal layering of diverse plant species, including Stachys lanata, Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’, Strobilanthes gossypinus, and Ligularia reniformis in the understory, which is elevated by strategically placed Laurus nobilis balls. Four silver birches provide a dappled canopy over the bench seat, which is flanked by French lavender offering a pleasing aroma.

On the North-west side of the property lies an enticing wet-edge pool that has been cleverly designed to minimise the need for pool fencing. A light oak millboard deck surrounds two sides of the pool with the exposed sides adorned by lush evergreen plantings concealing the balance tank.
