Gorgeous Front Garden Design
The gorgeous gardens of this beautiful house which is for sale in Foxrock, Dublin were designed by Garden Design Dublin. The gardens comprise three separate areas, the front, side and back gardens. All the gardens were designed in a very contemporary style, in line with the finish of the house, with clean sharp materials and straight lines with lovely complementary planting.
Contemporary Back Garden
The front garden was set off beautifully by a granite step and granite paving adjacent to the house, complementary cobbles and structured planting. This design frames the front of the house nicely and blends with the gravel finish over the rest of the driveway provided for parking and access.
The back garden was transformed into an outdoor living space with generous spaces designed to fit an outdoor lounging set and dining table and chairs with the ground surface finished in contemporary egyptian limestone. Due to the significant slope on the rear garden it was divided into three different levels.
View of House from back Garden
The patio level nearest the house, the middle level finished as a lawn and the upper level where a garage was sited with a separate access to the adjacent main road. The levels were supported by plastered walls finished in off white to complement the clean finish of the rest of the design and paving. Two sets of wide steps provide access between the levels which together with a double row of stepping-stones across the lawn create an attractive feature within the garden design, particularly when viewed from the house.
Side Garden Design
The side garden is finished in a similar design to the rear garden with staggered white walls supporting a raised border which runs along the side of the garden to support the higher level of the ground at the boundary. Cedar lath fencing runs horizontally along this boundary to provide an attractive modern backdrop which complements beautifully the rest of this contemporary garden design.

Patio Garden Design
Dear Garden Design, I am living in Blackrock Co. Dublin and I am looking for some input into the design of my back garden.
We have about a 25m2 yard which is enclosed. We want to develop it for outside entertaining – I have some ideas – to put a trellis on the walls, but with in built shelves for planting, and then to have other potted plants appropriate to the space. I would like perhaps some overhead beams with in built lights and heaters? I am also keen to include some out door wallpaper which I have seen before – a modern contemporary space really.
