Modern Garden Design
Modern garden design is about clarity.
It uses:
Strong geometry
Clean lines
Carefully controlled materials
Architectural planting
Defined outdoor-living spaces
Precise construction.
At Kirman Design, a modern garden is not simply a garden containing fashionable paving, a pergola and a few clipped plants.
It should feel deliberately composed.
The relationship between:
house + geometry + materials + planting + light
should be clear from the beginning.
We design modern gardens throughout North West England, including Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and the Ribble Valley.
What Is Modern Garden Design?
Modern garden design generally uses a more disciplined and architectural approach to landscape planning.
Typical characteristics include:
Simple geometry
Strong horizontal and vertical lines
Limited material palettes
Large areas of structured planting
Repetition
Carefully positioned focal points
Integrated outdoor living.
The best modern gardens are often visually simple.
But that apparent simplicity usually depends on considerable thought behind:
Proportion
Alignment
Levels
Construction
Planting.
Modern Garden Design vs Contemporary Garden Design
The two terms overlap significantly.
However, there can be a useful distinction.
Modern Garden Design
Often leans more strongly towards:
Minimalism
Geometry
Architectural structure
Simplified planting.
Contemporary Garden Design
Can be broader and may combine architectural layouts with:
Looser planting
Natural materials
Current outdoor-living trends.
Our Contemporary Garden Design page explores that broader design approach.
Modern Gardens
For a wider style-led exploration, see our Modern Gardens page.
This page focuses more specifically on the professional modern garden design service and how a modern landscape is developed and delivered.
Modern Garden Design Starts With the House
Modern gardens should respond strongly to the architecture.
Consider:
Window positions
Door openings
Internal sightlines
Building materials
Structural lines
Extensions.
The garden should extend the architectural logic of the house into the landscape.
Modern Garden Design for Modern Homes
Our Garden Design for Modern Homes page explores how landscape geometry, materials and planting can reinforce contemporary architecture.
Modern Garden Design for Contemporary Houses
For homes with:
Large glazing
Strong architectural forms
Open-plan living,
see Garden Design for Contemporary Houses.
Modern Garden Design for Period Properties
A modern garden can also work successfully beside an older building.
The objective should not necessarily be to imitate the age of the house.
A carefully designed contrast can be extremely effective.
Our Garden Design for Period Properties page explores how materials, proportion and planting can maintain a respectful relationship with the property.
Victorian Houses With Modern Gardens
A Victorian property does not automatically require a traditional landscape.
Our Garden Design for Victorian Houses page explores how modern outdoor living can be integrated without losing architectural character.
Edwardian Houses
For Edwardian properties, see Garden Design for Edwardian Houses.
A modern intervention can work particularly well where:
Extensions
Contemporary interiors
Large glazing
have already changed the relationship between house and garden.
Modern Garden Design for Listed Buildings
Historic properties can require additional care.
Our Garden Design for Listed Buildings page explores how modern landscape interventions can be considered within a more sensitive setting.
Modern Gardens for Barn Conversions
Barn conversions often combine:
Traditional building form
Modern interiors
Large glazed openings.
Our Garden Design for Barn Conversions page explores how the garden can bridge these contrasting characteristics.
Modern Garden Design After an Extension
An extension may completely change how the original garden relates to the house.
Our Garden Design After House Extension page explores how:
New doors
Glazing
Floor levels
Views
can reshape the external design.
Landscaping After an Extension
Where the project also requires extensive construction, see Landscaping After House Extension.
Modern Garden Design Around Bifold Doors
Bifold doors can create a strong axis between inside and outside.
Our Garden Design Around Bifold Doors page explores how:
Paving
Levels
Planting
Focal points
can align with the opening.
Modern Garden Design Around Sliding Doors
For wider glazed openings, see Garden Design Around Sliding Doors.
Indoor-Outdoor Modern Garden Design
A modern garden often works best when the boundary between inside and outside is visually reduced.
Our Garden Design for Indoor Outdoor Living page explores:
Material continuity
Views
Thresholds
Outdoor rooms.
Seamless House-to-Garden Transition
Our Seamless Transition House to Garden page explores how:
Paving
Levels
Alignment
can strengthen the transition.
Modern Patio Design
Modern patios often use:
Large-format paving
Simple shapes
Controlled joints
Clean edges.
But the shape should still respond to:
Furniture
Circulation
House proportions.
Our Garden Patio Ideas page explores a wider range of patio design approaches.
Patio Design Outside Bifold Doors
Where paving meets bifold doors, see Patio Design Outside Bifold Doors.
This explores:
Alignment
Thresholds
Drainage
Paving proportions.
Porcelain Paving in Modern Gardens
Porcelain is frequently associated with modern garden design because it can provide:
Crisp dimensions
Consistent finishes
Large-format surfaces.
But the overall result depends just as much on:
Detailing
Cutting
Jointing
Edging
Drainage
Installation quality.
Natural Stone in Modern Gardens
Modern gardens do not have to use exclusively manufactured materials.
Natural stone can work beautifully where it is used in:
Large simple areas
Restricted palettes
Strong geometry.
The design language matters more than the age or origin of the material.
Limited Material Palettes
Modern gardens often benefit from restraint.
Using too many different:
Paving materials
Wall finishes
Timbers
Colours
can weaken the design.
A smaller, better coordinated palette usually creates a stronger result.
Modern Garden Geometry
Geometry is central to many modern gardens.
This can be created through:
Straight paths
Rectangular terraces
Strong planting blocks
Aligned walls
Repeated dimensions.
However, geometry should not be arbitrary.
It should relate to:
The house
Views
Garden shape
Use.
Alignment With the House
Important landscape lines may align with:
Door centres
Window axes
Building corners
Internal rooms.
This can make the garden feel like a natural continuation of the architecture.
Modern Garden Levels
Level changes can create strong architectural opportunities.
They may define:
Dining terraces
Sunken seating
Raised planting
Lawns.
Our Garden Levelling page explores the practical implications.
Modern Sloping Garden Design
Sloping gardens can be particularly suited to strong geometric treatment.
Our Sloping Gardens page explores how:
Terraces
Steps
Retaining walls
can organise difficult ground.
For more severe gradients, see Landscaping a Steep Garden.
Modern Garden Terracing
Terracing can create a sequence of clear horizontal planes.
Our Garden Terracing page explores the wider strategy.
Modern Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can become major visual elements.
They might use:
Render
Natural stone
Steel
Timber
Masonry.
Our Garden Retaining Walls page explores both structural and design considerations.
Modern Garden Walls
Garden walls can also:
Frame views
Create enclosure
Support seating
Define planting.
Our Garden Wall Ideas page explores their wider potential.
Modern Garden Steps
Modern steps often rely on simple, confident proportions.
They may be:
Wide
Centrally aligned
Integrated into walls
Visually floating.
Our Garden Steps page explores construction.
For inspiration, see Garden Steps Ideas.
Level Access in Modern Gardens
Modern architecture often seeks strong floor-level continuity between house and garden.
Where step-free access is required, see Level Access from House to Garden.
This explores the relationship between:
Threshold
Paving level
Falls
Drainage.
Accessible Modern Garden Design
Accessibility can be integrated without making the garden look visually different.
Our Accessible Garden Design page explores how:
Routes
Gradients
Seating
Planting
can form part of the main design.
For wheelchair-specific requirements, see Wheelchair Accessible Garden Design.
Modern Outdoor Living
Modern gardens are frequently designed around outdoor life.
That can include:
Dining
Lounging
Cooking
Entertaining
Evening use.
Our Creating an Outdoor Living Space page explores how these activities can be planned together.
Modern Outdoor Rooms
A pergola, planting or walls can create stronger definition around outdoor living areas.
Our Creating an Outdoor Room page explores this approach.
Modern Garden Design for Entertaining
For clients who entertain regularly, see Garden Design for Entertaining.
The layout may need:
Several seating zones
Clear circulation
Outdoor cooking
Lighting.
Modern Garden Design for Outdoor Dining
Dining areas should be sized around:
Table
Chairs
Movement
Access from the house.
Our Garden Design for Outdoor Dining page explores this in more detail.
Modern Garden Design for Evening Entertaining
A modern garden should remain visually coherent after dark.
Our Garden Design for Evening Entertaining page explores how:
Lighting
Fire
Shelter
Seating
can extend its use.
Modern Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens can work particularly well within modern gardens because they can be integrated as architectural elements.
Our Garden Design Around an Outdoor Kitchen page explores:
Position
Services
Dining
Circulation.
For costs, see How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost?.
Modern Pergolas
Pergolas can introduce:
Strong structure
Shelter
Shade
Privacy.
Our Pergola Ideas page explores different approaches.
For budgeting, see How Much Does a Pergola Cost?.
Modern Pergolas for Privacy
Where privacy is required around a particular seating or dining area, see Pergolas for Privacy.
Modern Fire Pit Areas
Fire pits can create a strong focal point.
Our Garden Design Around a Fire Pit page explores how:
Seating
Paving
Planting
can be coordinated.
Modern Hot Tub Gardens
A hot tub can disrupt a clean modern composition if it is simply added afterwards.
Our Garden Design Around a Hot Tub page explores ways to integrate it using:
Screening
Levels
Planting
Lighting.
Modern Swimming Pool Gardens
For larger gardens with swimming pools, see Garden Design Around a Swimming Pool.
The surrounding:
Paving
Planting
Seating
should ensure the pool feels part of the wider landscape.
Modern Water Features
Water can be particularly effective in a modern garden.
Possible forms include:
Reflecting pools
Rills
Blade fountains
Architectural water walls.
Our Garden Water Feature Ideas page explores these in more detail.
Modern Garden Lighting
Lighting can emphasise the architectural structure of the garden after dark.
It might highlight:
Specimen trees
Walls
Steps
Water
Outdoor rooms.
Our Garden Lighting Ideas page explores different approaches.
Avoid Overlighting
A modern garden should not need every edge and feature illuminated.
Too much light can make the landscape feel:
Flat
Commercial
Less atmospheric.
Contrast and darkness are part of a successful lighting scheme.
Modern Planting Design
Modern planting does not necessarily mean:
Three grasses
A clipped hedge
A specimen tree.
It can be far richer.
Our Planting Design page explores how:
Repetition
Form
Texture
Seasonality
can be carefully controlled.
Architectural Planting
Plants with strong shape can reinforce the garden's structure.
Examples may include:
Multi-stem trees
Evergreen forms
Structural shrubs
Ornamental grasses.
But architectural planting should still feel alive rather than overly rigid.
Modern Perennial Planting
Perennials can introduce:
Colour
Seasonal change
Movement.
Repeated groups can create a modern rhythm while remaining horticulturally rich.
Ornamental Grasses
Grasses create a particularly effective contrast with:
Hard paving
Render
Steel
Geometric walls.
They introduce movement into otherwise static architecture.
Naturalistic Planting in Modern Gardens
One of the strongest current combinations is:
strong architectural structure + relaxed planting.
Our Naturalistic Gardens page explores this broader approach.
Prairie Planting in Modern Gardens
For larger properties, prairie planting can provide a softer counterpoint to clean architecture.
Our Prairie Gardens page explores grasses and perennials used in repeated drifts.
Modern Trees
Trees can provide:
Scale
Privacy
Shade
Vertical emphasis.
A carefully positioned specimen tree can become one of the most important elements in an otherwise restrained composition.
Modern Hedging
Hedging can create:
Strong horizontal lines
Evergreen structure
Privacy.
It can also provide a simple background against which more expressive planting can sit.
Modern Soft Landscaping
The installation stage may include:
Tree planting
Hedging
Shrubs
Perennials
Soil preparation
Lawns.
Our Soft Landscaping page explores this in more detail.
Modern Garden Privacy
A modern garden should resolve privacy through design rather than treat it purely as a boundary problem.
Our Garden Privacy page explores how:
Layout
Trees
Screens
Structures
can work together.
Modern Overlooked Garden Design
Where neighbouring buildings overlook the site, see Overlooked Garden.
Changing the location of:
Dining
Lounging
Hot tub areas
can sometimes be as important as adding screening.
Modern Garden Screening
Our Garden Screening Ideas page explores:
Slatted screens
Trees
Hedging
Pergolas.
Screening an Overlooking Window
Where one particular window is responsible for the problem, see How to Screen an Overlooking Window.
Screening a Neighbour's Extension
For privacy changes caused by new neighbouring development, see How to Screen a Neighbour's Extension.
Modern Small Garden Design
Modern design can work particularly well in small gardens because visual restraint can reduce clutter.
Our Small Garden Design page explores:
Proportion
Storage
Privacy
Multi-functional spaces.
Modern Courtyard Garden Design
Courtyards can become highly controlled modern spaces.
Our Courtyard Gardens page explores how:
Walls
Paving
Planting
Lighting
can be composed together.
Modern Medium-Sized Gardens
Medium gardens can often accommodate:
Main patio
Lawn
Planting
Secondary seating area.
The challenge is to create sufficient variety without overcomplicating the layout.
Modern Large Garden Design
Large gardens need more than simply enlarging the geometry used in a smaller plot.
Our Large Gardens page explores how:
Long views
Larger tree groups
Multiple destinations
Strong landscape structure
can work at scale.
Very Large Modern Gardens
For substantial sites, see Very Large Garden Design.
The landscape may transition from more architectural spaces around the house to looser treatment further away.
Modern Half-Acre Gardens
Our Garden Design for Half an Acre page explores how to structure larger domestic plots.
Modern One-Acre Gardens
For one-acre sites, see Garden Design for an Acre.
At this scale, repetition and landscape structure become increasingly important.
Modern Family Gardens
Modern gardens can still be robust and practical.
Our Family Garden Design page explores how to combine:
Children
Outdoor dining
Lawn
Planting.
Modern Gardens With Trampolines
A trampoline can be integrated more carefully through:
Planting
Positioning
Sunken installation.
Our Garden Design with a Trampoline page explores the wider design challenge.
For more targeted approaches, see How to Hide a Trampoline in a Garden and Sunken Trampoline Ideas.
Modern Dog-Friendly Garden Design
Modern garden design should still account for practical requirements.
Our Dog-Friendly Garden Design page explores:
Surfaces
Routes
Boundaries
Lawns.
For planting considerations, see Dog-Friendly Garden Plants.
Modern North-Facing Gardens
A modern garden does not need to rely on full sun.
Our North-Facing Gardens page explores how:
Foliage
Material colour
Lighting
Seating position
can compensate for a shadier aspect.
Modern Gardens on Clay Soil
Heavy clay is common across much of North West England.
Our Clay Soil Gardens page explores how:
Ground preparation
Drainage
Plant selection
can respond.
Modern Garden Drainage
Modern gardens can contain substantial areas of hard surfacing.
That makes drainage particularly important.
Our Garden Drainage page explores:
Falls
Surface-water management
Waterlogged soil.
Drainage Around Modern Patios
Where paving sits adjacent to an extension or house, see Drainage Around Patios and Extensions.
Drainage detailing should be resolved before construction is completed.
Modern Hard Landscaping
Modern design exposes construction quality.
Our Hard Landscaping page explores the structural elements including:
Paving
Walls
Steps
Structures.
Precision in Modern Garden Construction
A highly detailed traditional garden can sometimes disguise minor irregularities.
A minimal modern garden often cannot.
If two paving lines should align, the eye will notice when they do not.
If a step should centre on a door, a small error becomes obvious.
Modern design therefore places considerable emphasis on:
Setting out
Levels
Cuts
Joints
Edge details.
Landscape Construction
Our Landscape Construction page explores how designed gardens move from plan to physical construction.
Modern Garden Groundworks
Simple visual finishes can conceal complex groundwork.
Our Garden Groundworks page explores:
Excavation
Sub-bases
Foundations
Drainage.
Modern Garden Renovation
An existing garden can often be modernised without replacing everything.
Our Garden Renovation page explores how valuable:
Trees
Hedging
Walls
Existing features
can potentially be retained.
Modern Garden Remodelling
Where the existing layout is the main problem, see Garden Remodelling.
The project may involve changing:
Patio position
Paths
Levels
Outdoor-living areas.
Complete Modern Garden Transformation
Where the entire garden needs reconsidering, our Complete Garden Transformation page explores the full design-and-build process.
Bespoke Modern Garden Design
Modern should not mean generic.
Our Bespoke Garden Design page explores why the design should respond to the individual:
Property
Site
Client.
Garden Design and Build
For projects where the design continues directly into landscaping, see Garden Design & Build Company.
The design-and-build route can help coordinate:
Design
Hard landscaping
Planting
Specialist features.
Complete Garden Design and Build
Our Complete Garden Design and Build page explores the complete service in greater depth.
Garden Project Management
Larger modern gardens may require coordination between:
Landscape team
Pergola supplier
Outdoor-kitchen supplier
Electricians
Plant nurseries.
Our Garden Project Management page explores how complex landscape projects can be coordinated.
How Much Does Modern Garden Design Cost?
Professional design fees depend on:
Garden size
Complexity
Scope
Drawings
Planting design.
Our How Much Does Garden Design Cost? page provides broader guidance.
How Much Does a Garden Designer Charge?
For further detail on professional fee structures, see How Much Does a Garden Designer Charge?.
How Much Does a Modern Garden Cost to Build?
The total landscaping cost depends on factors including:
Size
Access
Groundworks
Specification
Structures
Planting.
Our How Much Does Landscaping Cost? page explores these cost drivers.
Setting a Budget for a Modern Garden
A modern garden does not necessarily require every premium feature.
Good design can often achieve more through:
Better proportions
Fewer materials
Strong planting
High-quality construction.
Our How to Set a Budget for Garden Landscaping page explores how to prioritise investment.
Modern Gardens With £50,000–£100,000 Budgets
For significant projects within this investment range, see Garden Design £50,000–£100,000 Budget.
Modern Garden Projects Above £100,000
For larger landscapes, our Garden Design £100,000+ Projects page explores how additional budget can support:
Extensive groundworks
Large structures
Mature trees
Outdoor kitchens
Lighting.
Luxury Modern Garden Design
Modern and luxury frequently overlap.
A high-end modern garden may include:
Bespoke features
Premium paving
Mature trees
Integrated outdoor living.
Our Luxury Garden Design page explores premium garden design more broadly.
Modern Does Not Automatically Mean Expensive
A modern garden can be relatively restrained.
Its success often depends more on:
Proportion
Material coordination
Accurate construction
Good planting
than on the number of expensive features.
Modern Does Not Mean Low Maintenance
This is another common misconception.
A garden with:
Clipped hedging
Perfect paving
Formal lawns
Structured planting
may still require regular care.
If lower maintenance is a major priority, it should be explicitly designed for.
Our Low Maintenance Garden Without a Lawn page explores one possible approach.
Modern Gardens Need Planting
One of the weakest approaches to modern garden design is to concentrate entirely on:
Paving
Walls
Pergolas
Furniture.
Without sufficient planting, the garden can feel more like an external room set than a landscape.
Planting should provide:
Scale
Movement
Seasonal change
Softness.
Do I Need a Garden Designer?
For a small cosmetic refresh, perhaps not.
For a significant modern garden, professional design can help coordinate:
Geometry
Levels
Material transitions
Planting
Features.
Our Do I Need a Garden Designer? page explores when professional input is useful.
What Does a Garden Designer Do?
Our What Does a Garden Designer Do? page explains how the role extends well beyond choosing:
Paving
Plants.
How to Choose a Modern Garden Designer
When reviewing designers, look for:
Strong whole-garden compositions
Good detailing
Planting quality
Variety between projects.
Be cautious of portfolios where every project appears to use exactly the same:
Layout
Paving
Pergola
Plant palette.
A modern garden should still be bespoke.
How to Choose a Garden Designer
Our How to Choose a Garden Designer page explores:
Experience
Process
Portfolio
Fees
Construction involvement.
Questions to Ask a Garden Designer
Before appointment, see Questions to Ask a Garden Designer.
This provides a detailed checklist covering:
Design scope
Drawings
Budget
Planting
Build.
Choosing a Landscaping Company
A strong design can still be undermined by poor construction.
Our How to Choose a Landscaping Company page explores how to assess potential contractors.
Questions to Ask a Landscaper
Our Questions to Ask a Landscaper page provides a detailed checklist before appointment.
Warning Signs When Choosing a Landscaper
For common red flags, see Warning Signs When Choosing a Landscaper.
Modern gardens rely on precision, so weak preparation and poor setting out can be particularly damaging.
Do I Need Planning Permission?
Many routine garden works may not require a separate planning application.
However, additional considerations can arise around:
Major level changes
Raised structures
Boundaries
Protected trees
Listed properties.
Our Do I Need Planning Permission to Landscape My Garden? page provides broader guidance.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a Modern Garden Designer?
Substantial projects take time to:
Survey
Design
Develop
Price.
Our How Far in Advance Should I Book a Garden Designer? page explores design lead times.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a Landscaper?
For the construction stage, see How Far in Advance Should I Book a Landscaper?.
For major projects, planning should usually begin months ahead.
Modern Garden Design in North West England
A modern garden in North West England must still respond to the climate.
That means considering:
High rainfall
Heavy soils
Wind
Drainage
Winter appearance.
A design copied directly from a hotter or drier climate may look attractive in photographs but perform poorly here.
Modern Garden Design in Lancashire
Lancashire gardens vary from:
Urban plots
Period properties
Rural homes
Large country gardens.
Modern design should respond differently to each context.
Modern Garden Design in Cheshire
Cheshire gardens often combine:
Extensions
Large glazed doors
Outdoor kitchens
Pergolas
Premium hard landscaping.
A strong masterplan ensures these do not feel like separate products.
Modern Garden Design in Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester projects may require particularly careful planning around:
Privacy
Restricted access
Neighbouring buildings.
Modern screens, tree planting and layout changes can create much stronger enclosure.
Modern Garden Design in Merseyside
Merseyside includes:
Urban gardens
Period houses
Coastal sites.
Materials and planting should respond to the specific property and level of exposure.
Modern Garden Design in the Ribble Valley
Modern design can work extremely well in the Ribble Valley where it is sensitive to the landscape.
A successful approach may use:
Strong geometry immediately around the house
Architectural terraces
Specimen trees
Looser planting further from the building.
This allows the garden to feel modern without becoming disconnected from its rural surroundings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is modern garden design?
Modern garden design generally uses strong geometry, clean lines, restrained materials, architectural planting and carefully planned outdoor-living spaces.
Is modern garden design the same as contemporary garden design?
They overlap significantly. Modern design often leans more strongly towards geometry and minimalism, while contemporary garden design can be broader.
Does a modern garden need porcelain paving?
No. Porcelain is popular, but natural stone, gravel, timber and other materials can all work successfully.
Do modern gardens need to be minimalist?
No. They can contain extensive planting while retaining a strong underlying structure.
Can a modern garden work with an old house?
Yes. A modern landscape can create a deliberate contrast with period architecture when carefully designed.
Can you create a modern garden for a new build?
Yes. See New-Build Gardens.
Can a modern garden have lots of planting?
Yes. In many cases, generous planting makes the modern design considerably stronger.
Can modern gardens be low maintenance?
They can be designed with maintenance in mind, but modern does not automatically mean low maintenance.
Can you design a modern garden on a slope?
Yes. Slopes can create excellent opportunities for terraces, walls and architectural steps.
Can modern garden design improve privacy?
Yes. Trees, screens, pergolas and changes to the layout can all be used strategically.
Can a modern garden include an outdoor kitchen?
Yes.
Can it include a pergola?
Yes.
Can it include a fire pit?
Yes.
Can it include a hot tub?
Yes.
Can it include a water feature?
Yes.
Does modern garden design include lighting?
It can. Lighting is particularly effective when integrated into the design rather than added afterwards.
Does modern garden design include planting design?
It can. See Planting Design.
Can Kirman Design build the garden as well?
For appropriate projects, the design can continue into construction through Garden Design & Build Company and Complete Garden Design and Build.
How much does modern garden design cost?
Design fees depend on garden size, complexity and required scope. See How Much Does Garden Design Cost?.
How much does a modern garden cost to landscape?
The total investment depends on scale, access, groundworks, specification, planting and features. See How Much Does Landscaping Cost?.
Modern Garden Design Is About Discipline, Not Emptiness
A modern garden can easily become a collection of predictable ingredients:
large-format paving
dark fencing
rectangular planters
pergola
ornamental grasses.
Those elements can all work.
But they are not a substitute for design.
The strongest modern gardens are disciplined.
The:
geometry relates to the house
paving dimensions make sense
levels are deliberately resolved
materials are limited and coordinated
planting softens the architecture
lighting is restrained
features are integrated rather than added afterwards.
Most importantly, the garden should not feel as though a generic modern template has simply been placed behind the house.
It should respond to that particular:
property + site + lifestyle + landscape.
At Kirman Design, our modern garden design approach combines:
architectural planning + landscape construction + planting + outdoor living + precise detailing.
If you are looking for modern garden designers in Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, the Ribble Valley or elsewhere across North West England, Kirman Design can develop the garden from initial consultation and concept through detailed design, construction and planting.
