Total Makeover

This recent garden makeover in Dolphinton spectacularly transformed a previously uninspired space into a vibrant, functional haven that embraces the beauty of the nature which surrounds the garden.

Central to this innovative design is a serene pond, which not only serves as a captivating focal point but also provides essential support for local wildlife and adds a soothing, calming soundscape that enhances the overall ambiance.

Surrounding the pond, numerous raised beds were meticulously crafted from sustainably sourced timber, allowing for the ideal cultivation of a wide variety of herbs and vegetables, thereby promoting both aesthetic beauty and ecological sustainability.

Spanning the rear of the house, elegant decking creates a perfect area for relaxation and social entertaining, seamlessly connecting the indoor living space to the exterior environment.

Self-binding paths wind gracefully through the diverse landscape, offering a practical yet charming route across the garden that encourages exploration.

Complementing these features, the exquisite "Harvest" Indian sandstone slabbing introduces warmth and rich texture, harmoniously blending with the natural surroundings to elevate the design.

The garden is further completed with thoughtful and strategic planting, showcasing native flora that significantly enhances biodiversity while ensuring that the area flourishes beautifully throughout the seasons, ultimately creating a picturesque and thriving ecosystem that can be enjoyed year-round.
