This modern garden impresses with its clear, well thought-out lines and has been newly created. A multi-level fountain lends it additional charm and creates a relaxing atmosphere with its gentle rippling. The outdoor area was deliberately kept discreet in order to focus on the impressive view.
A fountain to frame the garden
The two interconnected water basins create a natural transition between the concrete wall and the lawn. Local products were used for the materials and Bollinger sandstone was chosen. This was split into a single face and the edges were given a rustic finish to emphasize the natural look. In combination with the adjacent raised bed, this creates a harmonious overall look. The planting of the raised bed with the discreet lamp cleaner grass and the delicate purple-flowering Patagonian verbena makes the garden blossom from July to October.
Gentle water feature
The gentle splashing of water in the garden creates a calming ambience and emphasizes the natural beauty of the garden, while at the same time creating a harmonious connection with the plants and flowers.
Versatile planting concept
An apple tree and a pear tree enrich the garden's flora and enchant with their delicate light pink and white blossoms in spring. In summer and fall, they provide the owners with fresh, aromatic fruit. These fruit trees are harmoniously complemented by red and black currant bushes, which provide a vitamin-rich harvest with their luscious berries in midsummer. In addition, a white-flowering gooseberry bush brings not only decorative flowers but also tasty fruit to the garden. Together, these plants create a diverse and high-yielding fruit oasis that is both visually and culinary delightful.
The planting around the house was designed in various shades of purple, white and green, creating a calm atmosphere that invites you to relax. When selecting the flowering shrubs, care was taken to create a harmonious color change from spring to autumn, which makes the overall picture soft and lively at the same time.
Smart garden
Flowering plants delight garden lovers and create an idyllic atmosphere in the garden. In the first few years, however, plants require special care and attention to grow healthy and strong. That's why we involved our partner GardenTec in the project, who integrated a modern irrigation and rainwater harvesting system into the garden design.
Rainwater is considered the ideal water for watering plants, as it is soft and lime-free. To achieve a perfect result for the lawn, robotic lawnmowers take over the lawn care in this reference garden. Regular, daily mowing fertilizes the lawn in a natural way, which effectively prevents the formation of moss.
The advantages of a smart garden are not only the considerable time savings, but also the precise, needs-oriented watering of plants and lawns. Control via a user-friendly app means that resources can be used optimally and current weather forecasts can be incorporated into the watering schedule. In this way, a healthy and flourishing garden is maintained with minimal effort and the family also gains time.
Harmonious garden concept
The harmonious design of the outdoor area emphasizes the natural beauty of the surroundings and allows you to enjoy the spectacular view undisturbed. High-quality materials and balanced planting complete the overall picture and transform the garden into an ideal retreat in the midst of nature.
