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 provide continuous bloom and ecological support throughout the year. Natural habitats were introduced through log piles, loose stone areas and densely planted beds to create shelter for insects, birds and small mammals.

Artificial surfaces were avoided wherever possible. Instead of plastic grass or sealed paving, permeable paths, mulch-rich borders and organic materials were used to 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 project was about more than aesthetics; it was about function. Every plant, texture and structure was selected for its environmental benefit. The result is a garden that hums with life and shifts with the seasons, offering something new to discover every time you step outside.
