Child-Friendly Garden with Outdoor Kitchen & Entertainment Space

Our client approached us with the challenge of transforming her compact garden into a multi-functional space that balanced both child-friendly elements and a stylish adult entertainment area.

With limited space, the design needed to be efficient, creating distinct zones that catered to both practical play areas and sophisticated socialising spaces.

The existing garden lacked structure, had poor drainage, and did not fully maximise its potential. Our client envisioned a modern and low-maintenance outdoor area that was safe for children while still providing a luxurious entertaining zone for adults.

Key Garden Design Project Goals

  • Create a child-friendly space with a soft, durable artificial lawn for year-round play.
  • Design an outdoor kitchen to enhance outdoor dining and social events.
  • Install an automated pergola to provide weather protection and extend usability.
  • Lay a new porcelain patio for a sleek and practical outdoor flooring solution.
  • Improve drainage to eliminate water retention issues.
  • Upgrade fencing and introduce new planting to enhance privacy and aesthetics.

The aim was to deliver a seamless and stylish space where both children and adults could enjoy their time outdoors without compromise.

Garden Design Highlights

With a focus on maximising functionality within a smaller garden, the layout was carefully structured to ensure efficient use of space:

  • Porcelain Patio: A durable and elegant surface that connects the different garden zones.
  • Automated Pergola: A sleek, modern structure providing adjustable shade and shelter for year-round outdoor entertaining.
  • Outdoor Kitchen: A stylish BBQ and preparation area with integrated storage, making alfresco dining effortless.
  • Artificial Lawn: A child-friendly, low-maintenance play area, ensuring usability in all seasons.
  • Fencing & Planting: Enhanced privacy with modern fencing and seasonal planting for texture and greenery.
  • Drainage System: Implemented to resolve previous water retention issues, improving garden usability.
