Modern Gardens
Clean contemporary spaces with structured planting and elegant materials.
Modern gardens rely on strong lines, restrained plant palettes and high-quality materials. Think evergreen structure, architectural foliage and carefully chosen flowering accents rather than busy mixed borders.
Design tips
- Limit the plant list — repeat key species for a calm, intentional look.
- Balance hard landscaping with soft planting so the space does not feel harsh.
- Use evergreen structure as the backbone, then add seasonal accents sparingly.
- Choose large-format paving or gravel for unbroken visual planes.
- Keep colour restrained: greens, whites and one accent tone work beautifully.
