Garden Design and Landscaping in Chorleywood
A Millboard composite deck in Chorleywood started as a simple decking project which became a whole garden design. Inspirational and realistic decking design leads from the property across several transition changes into a natural garden. An abundance of insect and pollinator plants, winding paths, and a circular lawn. An exciting landscape in a relatively small garden.
Cantilevered Millboard Decking
For this Chorleywood-based client, the deck was the most important aspect of the garden so it had to be something special. Fortunately, the natural slope of the garden gave Karl the opportunity to design a cantilevered deck. This design makes the leading edge appear to float – something Karl emphasised by painting the substructure black. This illusion is further enhanced with lighting; an LED strip creates a warm glow from underneath the deck.
As well as the cantilever the deck is comprised of multiple levels. The architectural nature of these reflects the contemporary architecture of the extension to the house. These levels also aid the transition from the house to the garden while making use of the natural slope.
