78 Hilton Road

This contemporary garden, is set in the leafy suburb of Mapperley, on the edge of the City of Nottingham. The style of the garden echoes the clean lines of our 1960’s mid-century house which is built in a split-level design. It has a series of angular raised beds with white retaining walls of various heights softened by the planting with is now very established since we started the garden in 2012.

About 78 Hilton Road

Other aspects of the garden include a series of connected ponds, starting on the top level with a pond for water plants. A waterfall from this pond falls into a long rill, which empties into a large pond inhabited by mature koi. There are three seating areas which capture the sun at different times of the day and a contemporary garden room gives the opportunity to sit and view the garden in all seasons.

The planting scheme is less formal than the hard landscaping. There are a few themes running through the garden with contrasting foliage being seen throughout; bright greens, yellows, purples, white and bronzes, create eye-popping effects at various points in the season.

Two sides of the garden are in shade, and this provides an opportunity to create flat beds with a number of different shade-loving plants, such as hostas, ferns and acers. Acers of many types and sizes are a theme throughout the garden, providing great leaf colour in spring and autumn.

Large architectural plants, such as Phormiums and Yuccas form features in several of the beds, and there are a number of well-established palms in pots, in the garden, the front garden, and on the veranda. The broad variety of plants throughout will ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
