Contemporary Entertaining Garden – New Build, Hitchin
Designing with Flower & Stone
Partnership and Purpose
In partnership with Catherine Payne of Flower & Stone, House Gardens was commissioned to transform the outdoor space of a modern detached property on the outskirts of Hitchin into a luxurious garden designed for entertaining and family living.
From a blank canvas, the team created a garden that balances sleek contemporary design with practical functionality. Clean lines define the layout, leading to key features including a hot tub, a powder-coated aluminium pergola with louvered roof, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, creating the perfect setting for both intimate gatherings and larger social occasions.
The hard landscaping blends elegance with texture: the main patio was laid in refined porcelain, accented by Cotswold stone feature pathways and porcelain stepping stones that guide movement through the space. A new lawn, edged with galvanised steel, adds crisp definition and complements the structured design.
The result is a sophisticated, contemporary garden that not only enhances the property’s architecture but also provides a versatile and inviting space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying modern family life.
