Garden Design with Swimming Pools

We have recently been designing two gardens that include swimming pools:

Our first garden with an existing swimming pool (in Bromley Kent) with two roman ends is having
'a makeover ', here we have created 3 zones, all stone work will be replaced with bullnose capping around pool and retaining walls, this is very bespoke work and we are working closely with Rock Unique - stone suppliers. We are using a lovely creamy granite that is hard wearing and works with the house and context.

other gardens we have designed around pools:

 Our second design is for a new build property in Essex with a large garden. My aim here is to take the newness and sterile blank canvas away and soften with division of terraces, careful selection of materials and creating a number of zones and different levels.

This garden has a really lovely flow and journey through the spaces with strong division created by a change of paving material and planted borders that include structural hedges, topiary and perennials.

This garden is currently under construction and so I'll return when all complete to get some images.

    Nice designs I think people are now treating their garden and pool as their own personal refuge whenever they are at home to relieve themselves of stress from their hectic schedule.

Sculpture in the garden, greencube designs a sculptural ball garden

I'm still out taking photos of all the gardens that have been constructed in the last year and last night I visited our clients in Borough Green, Kent to photograph this garden. We designed the terracing around this very beautiful home and picked up on the existing buff coloured stone detailing that formed the sills and frames around the doors and windows. A complimentary colour  of yellow granite was finally chosen (Yellow Granite paving from CED) and a sculptural border of yellow granite balls (from Rock Unique) underplanted with Ilex crenata balls and Libertia grandiflora. Oak benches and oak arches have also been included and some division of zones created by deck laid flush with granite. This scheme fuses well with the house and setting. I will return in August to take further photos when the garden furniture is in place and hopefully get some night shots, lighting not yet fully completed at time of visit. Greencube planted this garden in two phases, the trees, ro

Practical storage solutions in our gardens in Tunbridge Wells and Folkestone

Storage in a garden is a common requirement but often forgotten or positioned too far away for practical use. Greencube have installed solutions in 2 of our gardens this year without the need for an ugly shed.   The built in seating has doubled up as a great practical storage solution so that the cushions, hand tools and firewood for the brazier are readily available.

But my favourite is most definitely the Telegraph Garden

Designed by Cleve West, a magical space with walls retaining at seat level, so wherever you walk you can pause, sit and enjoy, I managed to gain access to Cleve's garden and even had a brief chat with him. I loved it even more once in the space. The star plant at the show for me is most certainly Dianthus cruentus, with its crimson flowers which looked wonderful in amongst the cotswold stone, with its elegant stems and deep red flower. The statuesque columns, the wonderful dry stone walls and planting that had space, looked natural and certainly did not look like it was only planted a week ago!!!! The play with water with the water pipes and channel through the garden with stone stepping stones, all beautifully executed and inspirational.
