Four top trends for creating distinctive outdoor spaces from The Garden Trellis Co
The Garden Trellis Company have been designing, crafting, building & installing high quality garden joinery schemes for over 30 years. From their extensive workshop and design centre in Essex, The Garden Trellis Co are proud to be a British brand in the luxury property industry, working with many of the UK’s leading garden designers, landscape gardeners, developers, and architects. They are therefore in the perfect position to advise the members of The Luxury Property Forum on the latest trends they have seen in super-prime properties.
1. Making the right first impression
It is so important that the exteriors of properties are as smart as possible and bespoke garden joinery helps with this. From wall top trellis for privacy, walkways covered with pergolas, secure gates and grand planters to stunning screens and stores for unsightly necessities like wheelie bins.
Value can be added to properties by installing an electric car charger and it is worth considering customer storage solutions which integrate these, and provide smart, secure storage for wheelie bins and bikes.
2. Mixing it up
The Garden Trellis Co have worked on several projects recently where the garden designers have chosen a mixture of square and diagonal trellis. This is sometimes determined by requirements for climbing planting, or it can be because the designers want to have the calming effect of the square trellis combined with privacy from diagonal trellis.
On the topic of ‘mixing it up’, it can also be effective to combine more than one paint colour in garden joinery schemes. The Garden Trellis Co make beautiful bespoke two-tone trellis in complimenting colours.
3. Keeping cool in summer
British summers are getting hotter, and The Garden Trellis Co have seen an increase in orders for bespoke garden joinery products that are associated with this. Bespoke pergolas are great for adding shade to sunspots and a relaxing spot for outdoor dining.
Pool houses to screen the technical workings of swimming pools and provide an enclosed area to change, work out or relax can be a great addition to a property. Trellis and slatted panels also add privacy and some protection from chilly breezes. You can be reassured that by adding some vertical planting around a pool it is off-setting some of the greenery that might have been taken away when the pool was added.
Bespoke air conditioning covers have also become increasingly popular in city properties. The trellis slats allow easy airflow whilst covering up the unsightly air conditioning units. The Garden Trellis Co can also help with screens for oil tanks and air source heat pumps.
4. Mirrored Magic
Outdoor spaces are being made beautiful with decorative trellis and relaxing water features combined with stunning decorative trellis. By adding mirrored panels to the decorative bespoke trellis to courtyards and gardens, it increases light and makes spaces seem larger. This season, designers are moving towards darker, more moody palettes for the trellis-work, such as Deep Moss and Orwell paint colours.

Ready to learn more? Seeing is believing and in order to truly appreciate the quality of their work first-hand, The Garden Trellis Co are opening the doors to its Essex workshop and brand-new showroom.
It's not just about seeing the quality of the workmanship and feeling the weight and sturdiness of the products, when you enter the workshop, you are met with the timeless, almost nostalgic smell of woodwork. The new showroom allows visitors to view a sample of their best work and provides a great space to hear from the team about the latest trends and exciting projects that they are working on.
Visitors to The Garden Trellis Co will also learn about the steps they are taking to be kinder to the planet. Solar panels have recently been installed across the roof of the workshop to help power the tools. The workshop also has a clever biomass heating system which is powered by the off-cuts and sawdust. The heat is used to create the optimum drying conditions in the paint shop to give a long-lasting finish to the popular painted joinery. In addition to buying their timber from the most sustainable sources they can, the company also plants one tree with every order that is placed with Ecologi.
