Here at Ace Driveways, we know that a properly designed garden can change your life.  Our comprehensive planning and garden design services can create something special and uniquely yours.  Our design ethos is to understand and interpret our client’s needs by making the garden a perfect space in which to relax, entertain, have fun or create a peaceful space for quiet contemplation.  

Your garden is a huge asset.  It can be a vibrant multi functional extension to your living space which will add value to your home.  With outdoor space an expensive domestic asset, gardens often need to serve as outdoor rooms for eating, cooking, entertaining or meeting the changing needs of children.  

By considering how you use your garden and the way you like to live, we can design your garden to engage harmoniously with the associated architectural style of your home and its surroundings.  Once we have established your initial design brief accompanied by our surveys of the plot, our design process allows us to provide outstanding results.

There are many elements to be considered for each individual and their personal living space indoors or out.  We aim to connect these areas and provide that seamless and harmonious connection between home and garden. A few of the elements we consider are:

  • Identify the users requirements and practicalities.
  • Consider the plot orientation/ sunlight / high winds / privacy issues etc.
  • Zoned areas for different functions.
  • Engage the senses through texture/ materials/ contrasts/ focal points.
  • Take into account the size, shape, slope of the site.
  • Add good garden architecture which encompasses man made structures to compliment plant forms e.g. ponds, pergolas, ornamentation, paths, structures, walls, creating a journey for the senses.
  • Effective and practical circulation space
  • Create a mood/ atmosphere.
  • Provide a sense of suspense or surprise.
  • Use walkways to create a theatrical effect.
  • Consider differing weather conditions.

All of these elements are considered during the design process but the most important consideration of all must always be YOU, the client. You will remain central to the design, installation and completion processes at all times.
