Large Country Garden

Re-designing a tired swimming pool terrace

greencube design recently completed this design for a swimming pool terrace set within a large country garden in the heart of the Kent countryside near Marden. We created a sunken terrace with bespoke seating finished in Thermory softwood and featuring the local Kentish Ragstone, all immersed within colourful perennial borders. A wide path leads between two rows of statuesque specimen Catalpa trees, underplanted with bold swathes of orange, yellow and purple and ornamental grasses. The planting features Salvias, Nepeta, Achillea, Hellenium, Veronicastrum, Phlomis, and Leucanthemum, and ornamental grasses to create movement and soft textures, including Stipa, Calamagrostris and Panicum.
