David Andersen Contemporary Garden Design

There has been a hurricane of activity at Garden Magic this spring. We have garden design projects currently covering the entire Northwest: Lancashire, Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and even Yorkshire!It is always fun to see the transformations in progress, so here are a few pictures of gardens before and during construction . . . and soon we will share the finished spaces!

Construction is underway in north Manchester (above) as we take what was once plain lawn and create a luxurious space with sleek decking, ornamental pond and contemporary patio, framing a perfect bit of lawn we saved. 

In northwest Lancashire this magnificent home (above, that was once a barn!) has large contemporary windows over looking the back garden. The garden has a steep slope, which we are in the process of using to create a terraced and dramatic landscape mimicking a series of outdoor rooms, for eating, relaxing, and entertaining.  

Just started yesterday, the Yorkstone from this traditional garden space in Cheshire (above) was lifted, making way for the transition to a modern look, with simple, clean lines, defined edges and dramatic vistas.


More updates coming soon . . . 

Here you can see the dramatic transformations created with these before and after images of a few of our past garden design and build projects.

One project has a series of spectacular canals and waterfalls in a minimalist setting, another an elemental garden and fish pond, there is a contemporary deck with a beautiful bright green water feature back drop, an Edwardian courtyard made modern and a large family garden that is both stunning and functional.

Check out this recently finished garden complete with waterfeature, garden lighting, topiary, decking and fine cream coloured contemporary sandstone slabs.

The semi-circular deck has been designed using specially machined, tapered hardwood deckboards. This smaller deck is positioned to catch the morning sun...perfect as a breakfast terrace!

The individual topiary standards (photinia 'Red Robin') make an excellent strong statement....each has a stainless steel spike spot uplighter....helping to create drama and atmosphere.
