WORKING WITH THE GARDEN — NOT AGAINST IT 🌳
This project is a great example of what the iGarden iFrame system was designed to do.
A restricted, split-level garden with established trees, significant roots and an awkward existing layout — but those trees were part of the garden and needed to stay.
Rather than digging out the area, disturbing the root systems or trying to force a conventional patio construction into the space, we designed the steel iFrame around the trees and existing ground conditions.
The result:
🌳 Established trees retained and incorporated into the finished patio
🌱 Minimal disturbance to the existing ground and root zones
🔩 The steel iFrame engineered around obstacles rather than removing them
↕️ A split-level design that makes the different garden levels work
🔧 Porcelain remains liftable, allowing future access beneath the patio where required
🏡 An awkward, difficult-to-use garden transformed into a clean, practical outdoor living space
The second image really tells the story.
Underneath that porcelain is a precision-engineered steel structure built around the existing garden. Above it, you'd barely know the complexity was there.
Don't fight the garden. Design around it.
That is where the iFrame system comes into its own.
Outdoor Living. Engineered for Life.
