The planting concept welcomes all visitors as soon as they arrive. The entrance with its lush planting already gives a foretaste of what awaits behind the house. The rustling of the leaves in the wind calms the senses and leads the way into the garden.
Individual needs in garden design
For several generations, we have been accompanying our customers on the way to their personal oasis of well-being. The projects we realise are as diverse as our clientele. The individual needs and wishes are at the centre of every garden design right from the start. In this case, the client's main wish was for a lush berry garden. Various berry bushes were therefore integrated into the planting concept so that the whole family can enjoy the fruits of their own garden.
Lightness and harmony in garden design
The garden design here extends over several levels and aims to create an inviting yet light impression through the planting concept. The entrance area already impresses with its playful planting. Two solitary trees to the left and right of the house provide an exciting eye-catcher, while lavender and hydrangeas nestle gently against the architecture. After a hectic day, the calming scent of the lavender will put your mind at rest as soon as you enter the house.
To emphasise the lightness of the outdoor area, the path was designed with gravel. This natural material harmonises perfectly with the inviting planting and emphasises it visually. Dark-coloured materials create a beautiful contrast that accentuates the delicate flowers of the cranesbill. Almost at the end of the path are ten espalier trees, which not only provide more privacy, but also conceal the wall to the neighbouring house. The striking shape of these trees creates another eye-catching feature on this side of the house.
Year-round beauty thanks to the planting concept
In late summer, the planting zones unfold again. The panicle hydrangea in particular shows its full splendour together with the grasses. The white to pink-coloured flowers stand out strikingly against the beige-coloured blades of the feather bristle grass, attracting the attention of all visitors. Thanks to the well thought-out planting concept, the idyllic garden remains vital and lush all year round.
The brush-like inflorescences of the feather bristle grass also line the swimming pool. In a gentle breeze, they rustle in the wind, creating a relaxing atmosphere by the crystal-clear water. The entire natural spectacle can be comfortably observed from the sunbathing area.
The garden in summer and autumn
Smart irrigation system
Lush planting makes the hearts of garden lovers beat faster. But especially in the first year, plants need a lot of care to thrive. For this reason, we have asked our partner GardenTec who integrated a smart irrigation system into the garden design.
The great advantage of such a system is the enormous amount of time it saves. The automated and optimised watering gives the family more time together in the garden without having to worry about the time-consuming maintenance. This keeps the retreat oasis in a well-tended condition all year round. Thanks to app control, watering can even be adapted to weather forecasts.
An oasis of retreat that appeals to all the senses
The harmonious outdoor area is characterised by a sophisticated planting concept that ensures vitality and beauty all year round. The balanced composition not only fulfils the desire for a berry garden, but also offers an idyllic atmosphere by the pool. Here the family can enjoy the evenings and weekends while listening to the gentle rustling of the leaves.
