Finished gardens & terraces - Our reference projects
The swimming pond is the central element of this garden. It replaces an old pond that previously took up a lot of space and divides the garden area to save space. Nestled at one end of the garden, the swimming pond can be experienced from everywhere: from the seating area over the stairs, through the living room window and across the lawn. From the small wooden deck you can look out over the whole garden, the three flowering dogwoods in the back provide shade and security.
The client wanted a long pool to be able to swim lengths in it. The pool stairs are therefore located at the head of the swimming pond to increase the water surface. Due to the planting, the swimming pond creates a high added value even outside the swimming season. From the living room, the generous window creates a visual relationship with the water, so that the owner can enjoy the view of the water throughout the year.
The garden is already naturally divided into two parts by the heights: In the upper part there is a seating area generously shaded by a pergola and two umbrella-shaped trees. This part also borders on the agricultural zone and was delimited by means of planting. Next to the seating area begins the lawn, which flows around the lavender slope and around the existing trumpet tree into the lower part of the garden. A large lawn area was important to the client so that the family's dog could romp in the garden.
No structural changes were allowed around the existing trumpet tree so as not to damage the tree's root zone. The height transition of the two garden areas with a lavender area is striking. The lavender blooms all summer and the scent of this plant makes it feel like you are in Provence. In the back of the garden there is a small second seating area that overlooks the whole garden.
