Follow the Fashion - Urban Garden Design

Growing plants in an urban setting is also known as urban horticulture or urban agriculture. Discard mental images of rolling pastures and acres of space to play in. These gardens may be compact but every inch can be glorious in domestic situations and for community projects. They can enliven any area to provide fashionable, relaxing and social spaces which ooze positivity.

From stone and gravel to paving slabs, sleepers and bark there is a perfect urban garden landscaping material for every budget and taste.

Under the banner of urban gardening you’ll find container gardens. Add charm, elegance and vibrancy with them.

Containers are primarily placed on paving slabs and can be eclectic or traditional. There’s no limit to imagination so all containers from plastic pots and buckets to raised beds are perfect. Sleepers provide a wonderful edging for raised beds plus they compliment and contrast with the array of paving options available.

Stone and gravel offer a tempting economic solution. Stone and gravel options are hugely attractive and can be used alone or in conjunction with other landscaping materials with maximum impact.

Don’t forget to captivate the eye above ground level with window boxes and fencing. If you’re lucky enough to have a roof space which can be used for horticulture, this is another key urban garden location.

Every urban garden is special and should reflect the owners so don’t settle for drab or uninspired spaces. Allow our expert teams in Tadley, Windlesham and Newbury to help you energise and beautify your exterior. We’ll even deliver your landscaping materials to site at your convenience.
