Water Rill Garden, East Riding Contemporary Landscape
A contemporary water rill garden, calm, peaceful and light, with crisp diamond cut sandstone paving, rendered planters, contrasting gravel which glitters in the sun, flanked by Beech and Hornbeam hedging. The gardens surround an 18th Century farmhouse, open to the public between April and September each year. For more information please visit stillingfleetlodgenurseries.co.uk

Frank Organ added this to 17th-Century Ideas Add Formal Grandeur to the Garden
Make room for a water feature. Water features in the grand gardens of the 17th century tended to be lavish and expansive. A favorite was the canal, where pleasure boats floated on long stretches of reflective, still water. This contemporary rill might be the closest we can get to including a canal within a modern design.Its simple formality and reflective qualities emphasize the garden’s clean, geometric layout.

Frank Organ added this to Perspective Tricks to Make Your Garden Appear Larger
Enhance Perspective by Mixing ScaleBoundary walls and hedges can display the same perspective illusions as paving or decking, with their base and top lines seeming to taper toward one another the farther away they get. The illusion could be increased by clipping the tops of the hedges to be shorter toward the garden’s far boundary.
Jay Sifford added this to How to Create a Zen-Inspired Garden
Simple lines. Simplicity is both a muse and a goal in the Zen garden. Notice how the design of this garden is architecturally complex, yet the space still reads as simple and homogenous. The lines are similar and generally at 90-degree angles. Whether these lines are introduced with the stone pavers, the bar grates, the raised planters or the clipped hedge, they relate unobtrusively to one another and create a peaceful dialogue.

Love the detail in the area-could we add that with the pavers to break up the expanse? Or would it be too much?

Paving mixed with stone, very neat and modern. No room for water features or big planters.
Do you mean the hedge? One side is Hornbeam and the other is Beech.
