Balham Cottage Courtyard Garden – Child-Friendly Renovation
This small Balham cottage courtyard garden was redesigned as a practical, child-friendly outdoor living space for the whole family. The layout improves safety, usability and visual appeal, creating a garden that suits both play and relaxation.
Hardscaping
Bespoke raised bed planters define the space, add structure and create easy‑to‑reach growing areas for children. A new patio in Dijon, tumbled limestone provides a durable, slip‑resistant surface for everyday family use, outdoor dining and entertaining.
Softscaping
Low‑maintenance, child‑safe planting – including Siberian bugloss and giant allium – adds texture, colour and seasonal interest without high upkeep.
Highlights
The raised patio design creates a safe, level area for children to play while enhancing the garden's overall look and structure. The finished Balham courtyard combines beauty, practicality and durability, tailored to the family’s lifestyle and the character of the cottage.
