We created this high-quality garden for this newly built villa on the waterfront of the picturesque Vliet. The villa garden is characterized by clean lines, a tranquil atmosphere, and a practical layout that invites comfortable outdoor living by the water. In the process album, you can see our craftsmen at work creating this garden.
Custom canopy as a central living space
At the center of the garden stands a custom-made high-end canopy, which serves as the heart of outdoor living. This is where barbecue evenings, long summer nights, and intimate lounge moments take place—all under the shelter of atmospheric lighting and a stylish back wall of vertical ThermoWood slats. This fashionable wall brings a touch of interior style to the outdoors and forms a warm, architectural backdrop for the outdoor room.
Schellevis walkway with sightline
A 30-meter-long walkway made of trapezoidal Schellevis tiles elegantly leads to the waterfront. The rhythm of this unique paving emphasizes the clean lines of the design and creates depth and perspective. A modern jetty awaits at the water’s edge, constructed from sustainable Esthec decking material with integrated lighting. Here, the luxury sloop finds its home at the nautical jetty, complete with a robust stainless steel swimming ladder for refreshing dips in the clear canal.
Sustainable ceramic terraces
Sustainable ceramic terraces have been laid around the house using robust 1×1 meter tiles. Thanks to the use of Romfix street mortar in combination with drainage mortar, the paving is completely weed-free, frost-resistant, and resistant to subsidence—a sustainable investment in years of carefree gardening pleasure.
Atmospheric garden lighting and a good planting plan
The planting has been carefully coordinated with the lines and atmosphere of the garden. Sleek and organically shaped borders alternate, with
Low-maintenance front yard and sturdy driveway
The front garden provides a stylish prologue to what is to come. Robust natural stone cobblestones are playfully interspersed with sleek Schellevis tiles and gravel surfaces, creating a harmonious entrance. The driveway has been expertly laid with split slabs that can easily withstand heavy traffic without compromising on aesthetics.
In summary
This garden on the Vliet is an oasis of tranquility and luxury. Even though a number of luxury elements from the original design have been omitted, the end result is still a well-considered combination of high-quality materials, modern design, and traditional craftsmanship that makes this outdoor space a dream location—where outdoor living seamlessly blends with comfort and style.
