Miami Oasis was the brief given to The Garden Builders when asked to design this large garden by our clients. The swimming pool was already in place but we worked closely with a pool specialist, Opulent Pools, who modified the pool to fit in with the new modern design of the garden in Surry.

Grey porcelain Emperor Urban paving replaced the existing riven Indian sandstone to give a sleek shiny flooring. While Composite Millboard decking in the two lounge areas brings definition to the spaces.

A slated horizontal trellis helps to enclose the pool area and bring contrast to the garden's boundary of Evergreen planting. Artificial green wall panels from Vistafolia and evergreen climbers on the trellis provide colour to the border of the terrace and compliments the rest of the planting. Careful planting design was key to create the hidden Oasis feel to the pool area. Large Palm trees were carefully positioned, along with decorative pots from Atelier vierkant dressed with Trachycarpus fortuneii.

Generous paved steps lead to the lawn and are flanked with new raised beds of rendered blockwork with a painted finish and stone copings. Along with the ground level planting the raised beds are dressed with decorative pebble mulch and simple, low maintenance planting to complete the garden.
