Expert Review

Size isn't everything

Your garden is compact and manageable, providing an ideal canvas for creating a low-maintenance yet visually interesting space. It's the perfect size to design an intimate and charming garden that's easy to care for.

Seasonally wet soil

It appears that your garden has slowly permeable, acidic, loamy, and clayey soil, which can become seasonally wet due to impeded drainage. Your soil is likely to have good fertility. We'll select plants that are hardy and thrive in these conditions to ensure your garden remains vibrant and healthy.

Triangular gardens offer unique design opportunities

You can utilise angular borders to create striking, modern designs or soften the edges with curved plantings to enhance the garden’s character and appeal.

South-facing advantage

Your south-facing garden enjoys ample sunlight throughout the day, providing ideal conditions for a variety of sun-loving plants. This abundant light will help create a vibrant and thriving garden space.

  • Modern and Sleek Design

    You want to transform your blank canvas into a modern, sleek garden. The goal is to create a classy and welcoming front garden that impresses visitors and provides a stylish entrance to your home.

  • Beginner-Friendly and Low Maintenance

    As a beginner gardener, you prefer a low-maintenance garden that is easy to care for. You want a design that is simple to manage yet visually striking, ensuring you can enjoy your garden without extensive upkeep.

  • Child and Pet-Friendly

    Your vision includes a safe and inviting space for children and pets to enjoy. You aim to create a garden that is both functional and beautiful, providing a relaxing environment where your family can unwind and spend quality time together.

Tips and design principles

How to create your modern triangular garden

Transform your small triangular garden by blending sleek, modern design with functional use of space.

Introduce clean, geometric borders to segment the area into distinct zones for visual appeal, perfectly utilising the unique angles of your garden.

Take advantage of the south-facing orientation to maximise sunlight, enhancing the growth and vibrancy of your plants.

This design ensures every part of your garden is both stylish and well-utilised, turning your outdoor area into a classy, welcoming extension of your home. Let’s make every corner of your garden a contemporary retreat.

David, I recommend:

Embrace geometric shapes

Tip: Use clean lines and geometric shapes to define the garden's structure. Incorporate angular borders, triangular planters, and rectangular seating areas to emphasise the modern aesthetic.

Why: Geometric shapes create a sense of order and sophistication, making the most of the unique triangular layout and enhancing the contemporary feel of the garden.

David, I recommend:

Create a vertical focal point

Tip: Design around a central focal point, such as a tall sculpture, a green wall, or a narrow vertical garden. This feature should be placed strategically, perhaps at the widest part of the triangle or directly in view from the main entrance to the garden.

Why: A focal point draws attention and gathers the garden’s design elements around a central theme, adding aesthetic appeal and modern charm. Utilising vertical space maximises the garden's area and adds interest without taking up valuable ground space, making the garden appear more structured and balanced.

David, I recommend:

Minimalist planting scheme

Tip: Choose a limited palette of plants with simple, elegant forms. Opt for grasses, succulents, and perennials in blues, purples, and greens. Use repetition and groupings to create a cohesive look.

Why: A minimalist planting scheme with carefully selected plants ensures the garden looks tidy and sophisticated. This approach reduces maintenance and highlights the modern design's clean lines and structure.

  • Try adding personalised garden art

    Tip: Incorporate garden art pieces like handmade sculptures, painted rocks, or custom signs that reflect your personality and style. Why: Personalised garden art adds a unique touch to your natural garden, making it truly your own. These artistic elements can tell your story, evoke emotions, and enhance the visual appeal of your garden, making it a more inviting and personal space.

  • Create intimate seating areas

    Tip: Design cozy seating nooks with natural materials like wooden benches or stone seating, surrounded by lush plantings and shaded by trees or tall shrubs. Why: Intimate seating areas provide a perfect spot for relaxation and contemplation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of your natural garden. These personalised spaces invite you to unwind and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings in comfort and peace.

  • Add wildlife-friendly features

    Tip: Integrate elements such as bird feeders, butterfly houses, and small water features to attract and support local wildlife. Why: Adding wildlife-friendly features not only enhances the ecological value of your garden but also brings dynamic and engaging elements to your outdoor space. Watching birds, butterflies, and other wildlife can provide endless enjoyment and a deeper connection to nature, making your garden feel more alive and vibrant.
