Coastal Garden Design (Current project)

Mid Century Modern House Garden Design, Aldeburgh, Suffolk

A mid century modern house by the coast. The garden dates from the time the house was built with hard landscaping mainly in concrete, which had become cracked and worn. The house and garden are on a slope, and the garden required re-contouring in some sections for aesthetic and functional reasons.

The new design incorporates gabion walls filled with local stone, which link the house to its location. Larch copings and supports echo the larch cladding on the house. A wider driveway and a rethink of the area around the house improve the entrance area. Extensive re contouring of the site will provide a useable seating area in the lower lawn area and greatly improve the look of the garden. Bold, low maintenance planting will include sculptural Pine trees in the front garden, a nod to the era of the house.
