Private garden with natural pool

Rela­xing retreat

Between the covered seating area by the pool and a cosy lounging area in a secluded alcove, you can access the house via a brick stair­case with a landing at the side. The prac­tical garden shower is also embedded in this struc­ture and is hardly noti­ceable. The natural stone walls create inte­res­ting accents in the garden. 

The densely planted retai­ning wall in front of the living room window was deli­bera­tely retained. It offers a beau­tiful view to the outside and blends in perfectly with the garden area in front of it. In this area, a gravelled surface with natural stone steps adds a lively touch. The simple seating area with two armchairs, framed by fragrant lavender, over­looks the entire garden with its natural pool and green lawn. The garden is bordered by an ever­green hedge along the metre, which provides a beau­tiful privacy screen. The space-saving hedge is supported by a clim­bing struc­ture. Umbrella-shaped shrubs with flowery under­plan­ting soften the border and attract atten­tion. 

The deli­bera­tely simple plan­ting has created a low-maintenance garden that nevert­heless allows beau­tiful combi­na­tions to be created all year round thanks to the choice of plants. The calm garden design with few elements makes the garden appear much larger and invites you to spend rela­xing hours.
