Jacquie, here's my garden assessment

Expert Review

✔️ North-facing garden

North-facing gardens typically don't receive much sunlight as they tend to be in the shade as the house is usually blocking the sun. However, over the summer (May to October) you will get a good amount of evening sun. Your garden orientation will mean that the right hand side may struggle with the shade, making grass harder to grow and making this area prone to getting waterlogged. I'll pick plants that do well in these conditions.

✔️ Square gardens are versatile

Square gardens are versatile; you can choose straight-line borders for a sleek, modern look or curved borders to soften the space and enhance its charm.

✔️ Good-sized garden

Your garden is a good size without being too hard to manage. An ideal canvas for a low maintenance garden that adds visual interest.

✔️ Low effort, big impact

As a budding gardener, I'll guide you by choosing low-maintenance plants, helping you achieve significant impact with minimal effort.

Tips and design principles

How to create your modern garden

Creating a modern garden style in a medium-sized square garden involves combining clean lines with minimalist design, resulting in a space that feels both sleek and sophisticated.

Here are the key garden design principles to follow to achieve that quintessential modern garden look, and a usable family space to relax and entertain:

Jacquie, I recommend:

Simplicity and minimalism

Tip: Focus on creating a clean and uncluttered space, using a limited palette of materials and colours.

Why: This principle emphasises the "less is more" approach, avoiding overly decorative elements to maintain a sleek and contemporary look.

Jacquie, I recommend:

Geometric layouts

Tip: Employ geometric shapes and straight lines in the design of paths, beds, and structures.

Why: Rectangular and square formats are typical, which help to organise the space efficiently and enhance the modern look.

Jacquie, I recommend:

Functional outdoor living areas

Tip: Design versatile, practical outdoor living spaces that extend the home's interior to the outdoors. Incorporate elements like seating, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits, designed with a focus on usability and style.

Why: These areas not only boost the functionality of your garden but also create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living, making the garden an integral part of your daily life and perfect for entertaining.

Expert Tips: add personal touches

  • You could incorporate artistic elements

    Choose modern art sculptures or water features that reflect your personal taste. Why: These can serve as focal points and inject a touch of personality without compromising the modern design ethos.

  • Add some personal outdoor decor

    Personalise your modern garden by incorporating decorative elements that reflect your style. Choose modern outdoor rugs, stylish furniture, or contemporary art pieces that resonate with your personal aesthetic. Why: These elements not only add comfort but also express your unique taste, making the space truly feel like an extension of your home.

  • Be creative with lighting

    Install creative lighting solutions to highlight garden features and enhance the ambience at night. Use spotlights to accentuate plants or architectural elements, and consider LED strip lighting along pathways or seating areas for both function and flair.
