We can help turn your garden into a peaceful, private haven.
Do you long for a secluded haven in your garden, a place to unwind and entertain guests without feeling like you’re on display?
Many UK gardens, particularly in urban areas, face the challenge of being overlooked by neighbours. Here at Cheshire Bound, we specialise in crafting bespoke solutions that transform overlooked gardens into private paradises, ensuring you can enjoy your outdoor space to the full.
Beautifully Built and Strategically Placed Structures
Adding a bespoke pergola, gazebo or other garden structure is an easy way to provide a cosy and secluded private space within your garden for eating, entertaining, or just relaxing with a good book. They provide a defined and welcoming space that is essentially an outdoor room.
We can create something that suits your style and complements your home and garden, using a range of materials. And whether you want something that feels quite enclosed, with a roof or sail shade to keep the weather out (as well as the neighbours’ gaze), or a structure that feels more open, we can design and build a bespoke structure that will offer an inviting private space for you to enjoy.
Screening For Privacy
The cornerstone of creating privacy is strategic screening. We design, build and fit walls and fencing, whether you want standard fence panels or something more creative, for example using reclaimed brick or timber, natural stone, or bespoke metalwork.
These walls not only provide a physical barrier but also add a touch of character and beauty to your garden. We can even incorporate built-in planters or water features into the wall, maximising space and adding a touch of charm.
Living Screens and Clever Planting
Plants are nature’s architects. We use them to their full potential and our planting knowledge ensures that your planting scheme will thrive in your specific environment.
Strategically placed trees and shrubs can create a natural haven that not only provides privacy but brings your garden to life. Taller, visually interesting plants such as a towering bamboo, swaying gently in the breeze, or a flowering cherry, look great from the ground as well as providing a visual barrier.
Or how about a living screen using a variety of climbing plants. Imagine a trellis or pergola crafted from reclaimed wood, bursting with a fragrant jasmine, honeysuckle or climbing rose, creating a natural privacy barrier that adds a touch of scent and visual beauty.
Acoustic Solutions
Privacy isn’t just visual; it’s auditory as well. To mask unwanted noise from neighbouring properties or busy streets, how about incorporating a water feature into the design. The sound of a trickling fountain or cascading waterfall creates a completely different auditory atmosphere and can really enhance your garden’s sense of seclusion.
Additionally, we can use acoustic solutions such as cleverly placed sound-absorbing materials and planting to ensure your garden remains a peaceful retreat.
Lighting and Ambiance
Lighting in itself does not prevent the neighbours overlooking your garden space, but it can create a sense of intimacy and seclusion whilst you’re enjoying your outdoors. Part of our design process includes clever lighting schemes to really make the most of your space. So whether it’s diffused uplighters highlighting your living wall, or low level spots outlining a meandering pathway, the right lighting is an important element that allows you to enjoy your garden space fully into the evening.
At Cheshire Bound we understand that your garden needs to feel like a personal space. And we really don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We like to take the time to understand how you want to live in your garden, the layout of your garden in relationship to your property and your neighbours’ properties, your vision for privacy, and your budget. Sometimes small changes can create a big impact.
