This courtyard in a townhouse complex lacked shade and reflected heat directly into the client’s home, making the space uncomfortable. Access was also limited to a narrow side gate, adding complexity to the project.
AFGM developed a detailed, phased plan for the garden, designing for the long term while breaking the project into manageable stages.
The first step was installing a Stratco open-air pergola to provide shade, with the following work timed around this structure.
Two years later, we completed the paving and installed an irrigation system, ensuring the garden could thrive in the local climate. The next year, we introduced new garden beds, plants, and fresh mulch to both the front and back gardens, creating a cohesive and visually appealing space over time.
The once bare courtyard was transformed into a shaded, functional, and beautiful outdoor space. The phased approach allowed the project to progress gradually without compromising on quality or budget. AFGM continues to maintain the client’s property and has been engaged to carry out additional projects.
