House garden family M. Small urban oasis in a hidden location

The developers' property is hidden in the second row behind the front row of buildings, which shields the street spatially and acoustically. Situated between the two rows of buildings, the green inner courtyard forms a sheltered open space, a hidden oasis in the urban landscape in the south of Dresden. With about 400 square meters, the space at the house is limited.
An approximately 140-year-old beech tree, carefully protected and preserved through the phase of the house construction, spans the garden and underlines the green character from the beginning. The shady starting position, but also the preference of the owners to renounce regular lawn mowing made a garden concept without lawns possible.
The explicit wish of the owners for tangible water in the garden was solved in view of the large root area of the copper beech via an installed water basin made of Corten steel. The location on the way to the front door and in direct proximity to the terrace ensures the desired daily presence of the basin in the experience of the garden.
Two to three times a year, a professional gardener covers the necessary maintenance care. Beyond that interferences by the owners are hardly necessary, since a surface-covered planting prevents the emergence of unwanted wild growth to a large extent. An irrigation system installed in the 3rd year ensures a sufficient supply of water in the summer months even in the shade of the copper beech.
