Modern garden with rural atmosphere
On the outskirts of Leende in Brabant is a detached house with a large backyard. “We want a modern garden, like the one you make, but I want to keep my greenhouse, vegetable garden and chickens. Is that possible?” Of course!
Landscaping in this garden
The structure in this garden is formed by a sleek natural pond with a water feature. From the interior you can look beautifully across this into the garden. The line of sight ends at the artwork on the lawn. Notice that the lawns have a height difference of one step and what a nice spatial effect that gives!
Trees and hedges
The ancient hedge of Acer campestre (field maple) and the large Hammamelis (witch hazel) were preserved, the Hammamelis even cherished. See her now standing pretty are in a large bed of Pennisetums (lamppost grass) next to the pond. Privacy has been sealed with greenery: large espaliered Carpinus trees have been planted and a tall hedge of Yew has been placed on the property boundary.
Nice and rural
The chickens, greenhouse and vegetable garden are behind hedges of Fagus and Acer. Occasionally you catch a glimpse of it, but distracting elements are certainly not. The lawn is bordered along one side by a wide border with a composition of perennials and ornamental grasses. How nice it must be to enjoy your breakfast in the morning sun amidst these scents and colors!
