The House- Srdg- Landscape Project Design

01. The Challenge and The Fundamental approaches

An elegant design for a family with children who want to spend long hours in an enjoyable garden .We had a client who had previously had their garden redesigned twice by different companies but was not satisfied, so they were initially quite tense and distant in their approach. This is why they were a bit cautious and hesitant at first. We were responsible for both designing the project and implementing it. First, we would be designing the work we would be applying. Unfortunately, the promises made by the other companies they worked with were not kept, they hadn't worked meticulously, didn't deliver quality craftsmanship, and hadn't provided detailed and lasting solutions. Due to these reasons, they may have been somewhat prejudiced. However, because they knew the success and quality of our previous work, we quickly reached an agreement. Under the umbrella of our great references, we took full authority and began the design. Thanks to their complete trust in us, we were able to create a more comfortable and relaxed design. After identifying their needs and wishes, we ended up with a beautiful design that satisfied both sides.

There was a level difference with the neighboring gardens

There was heavy traffic noise, dust, and dirt in the backyard

There was a significant level difference with the pedestrian path on the front garden side

And a flat garden was desired

And privacy was the most important aspect for them

Their houses were very large, but their gardens were small

They wanted to enjoy sitting in the green space in the garden, while also maintaining distance from others .

02. The implementations and The Solution

"We created flat lawn areas around the house, which made the garden spacious and airy. On the sides, we planted tall evergreen plants to separate the garden from the neighboring houses. The rear garden faces a busy street, so we used dense hedge plants to reduce noise and dust. We used edging to separate the lawn from the plants. This edging helped the lawn maintain a neat appearance, ensured the sprinkler system worked flawlessly, made lawn mowing easier, and facilitated the garden's maintenance. On the edges, we mostly used perennial plants, which helped us set up an efficient drip irrigation system within the plant beds. The lighting was designed in such a way that it wouldn’t overpower the garden or hinder its use, providing a beautiful illumination. We chose special galvanized separators that allowed us to integrate LED lighting, creating an elegant and striking lighting effect around the garden. The front garden, adjacent to the pedestrian path, was designed to block pedestrian traffic, but we did not use tall plants here. We designed with eye-level measurements in mind, selecting plants of different sizes, characteristics, and colors that are compatible with the sun, soil, and water requirements. These plants were chosen for their characteristic and striking features in every season. We closed the elevation differences in the rear and side gardens using high separators, which allowed us to create a flat lawn area. Due to the significant elevation difference in the front garden, we had to use a high separator here. We always chose wooden separators that are in harmony with nature and plants. They are adjustable to the desired height and create a very natural and warm atmosphere. We also used this wooden material to secure the lighting fixtures to a solid base. The lighting is placed at a height that will not disturb the garden, provide a pleasant under-lighting for the plants, and won’t interfere with the pedestrian path. Since there was a significant elevation difference in the front garden, we kept the planting area wide and used plants to conceal this elevation change. To hold the soil and create a clear line

• It became a garden where the privacy of the household was a priority,
• A spacious and airy garden area was created,
• Every point of the garden is 100% irrigated,
• A detailed irrigation system was designed based on the shading and sunlight conditions,
• All elevation differences in the garden were leveled,
• LED lighting with separators and a low-level lighting system were used. These were implemented in a way that they could be lit separately in the desired areas,
• We selected plants with different characteristics for all four season,
• Since this is a home, we created a garden that looks well-maintained and pleasant throughout the year,
• A sustainable garden,
• A low water-demand garden design,
• To prevent any weed issues, soil areas were covered with mulch, and a special ground cover was laid under the mulch,
• We created alternative designs with a gazebo and a patio. In the implementation, a completely enclosed winter garden was preferred,
• During the implementation phase of the lighting, they accepted our suggestion to have LED lighting passing through the separator, and we carried out the installation in that way.

03. The Result

The garden became a wonderful space with the vibrant colors of spring flowers, the stunning reds and oranges of autumn, the calming greens of winter, and the warm tones of summer in harmony with the sun. It is a sustainable garden with controlled water requirements, easy maintenance, and elegant lines, providing enjoyment throughout all four seasons. A beautiful garden with privacy as its key feature. Thanks to the well-maintained, durable, and special grass application, children can play in these lovely grassy areas, and adults can relax comfortably on the grass. During the cold winter months, the family can still enjoy outdoor moments in the enclosed gazebo.
