We removed the lawn to make way for layered planting that mimics natural ecosystems. A wide variety of pollinator-friendly species — including flowering perennials, grasses, and native shrubs — were chosen to ensure continuous bloom and ecological support throughout the year. Natural habitats were introduced via log piles, loose stone areas, and densely planted beds to provide shelter for insects, birds, and small mammals.
We also avoided artificial surfaces where possible. No plastic grass or sealed paving — instead, permeable paths, mulch-rich borders, and organic materials were used to help absorb rainfall and regulate ground temperatures. The design encourages a relaxed, informal movement through the garden, with winding paths and soft edges that reflect the free-flowing character of nature.
This was about more than aesthetics — it was about function. Every plant, texture, and structure was chosen with environmental benefit in mind. And the result? A garden that hums with life and changes with the seasons, offering something new to discover every time you step outside.
