This large contemporary garden in Hertfordshire transforms a sloping site into a series of beautifully connected outdoor spaces. Multi-level timber decking creates dedicated areas for dining and relaxing, while a curved retaining wall frames a welcoming gravel fire pit with a bespoke floating bench for evening gatherings. A spacious lower patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, complemented by lush, layered planting that softens the structural elements and brings year-round colour, texture and a relaxed contemporary feel throughout the garden.
