GARDENS, TERRACES & BEYOND

Transform your outdoor space into a beautifully designed extension of your home.

Gardens, Terraces & Beyond is a practical and visually inspiring guide to creating sophisticated, functional and timeless outdoor spaces, with a particular focus on London homes where every square metre matters.

David Delavega explores how to combine layout, materials, planting, lighting and transformation into one complete garden design. From compact terraces and courtyards to larger family gardens, the book shows how thoughtful planning can completely change the way an outdoor space looks, feels and functions.

Inside, you’ll discover practical ideas for:

• Garden and terrace layouts
• Outdoor dining and entertaining areas
• Paving, decking and material selection
• Architectural planting
• Privacy and screening
• Garden lighting and evening atmosphere
• Connecting indoor and outdoor spaces
• Transforming difficult or neglected gardens
• Designing practical, low-maintenance outdoor rooms
• Creating a garden that complements and adds value to the home

Good garden design is not simply about adding plants. It is about creating an outdoor environment that feels like part of the home.
