Brick Terrace and Thai Rock Garden

This part of a Thai garden was in dire need of rescuing. The owner had desires of building a small terrace and rock garden within the space. However, he struggled to find the time, and gradually this part of the garden became somewhat of a day-to-day eyesore. They decided to bite the bullet, and call a professional Thai landscaper...

Pornchai Garden had fixed the space within 2 days. No longer an eye sore, the team cleaned up the whole area, replacing the previous dirt floor with a tasteful red brick terrace.

New wooden borders were created, giving definition and shape, with a traditional Thai rock garden around the outside, complete with sophisticated planting, various pots, clay and wooden ornaments and a large rustic tree stump, ensuring that this new part of the garden is one that will please all those who visit.

Re-roofing a Thai Gazebo

A house in Thailand required a new roof for their existing gazebo. The roof was fairly old and so some leaks had appeared. Pornchai Garden suggested for longevity and better protection the roof was completely rebuilt and retiled with terracota barrell tiles.

Creating outdoor shaded areas in Thailand makes good sense on any Thai garden landscape. During the Summer months, it is simply too hot to sit exposed in the sun, and during the wet season it is always a good idea to have covered areas, in case the heavens open up.

With a completely new, strong wooden structure, and brand new tiles, this Thai gazebo is good for many many years to come.

If you need help with creating shaded regions, outdoor Thai gazebos, buildings or any type of general outdoor construction, talk to the experts at Pornchai Garden. We create, invent, design and build all elements for the perfect Thai garden or landscape.

Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia)

The Strelitzia plant, or Bird of Paradise, is a perennial plant originally native to South Africa. They are now widely seen throughout most tropical climes (they are commonly known in South Africa as the Crane flower).

There are many varieties, but perhaps the best known, S.reginae, grow to around 1 metre in height and consist of long, green banana like leaves with robust, distinctive pinkish orange flowers.

The Bird of Paradise enjoys landscapes with full sun and good drainage. They are an excellent all rounder for decorating large areas of landscape, at the base of large trees and walls, and for foreground fillers, as in the photograph.

Pergola Covered Utility Area in Bangkok Garden

A client requested a covered utility area down one side of their home in their Bangkok garden.

As seen from the 'before' picture, the space was unkempt and grassy, with various utility holes exposed on the surface.

The area is now finished with a square granite paver and a PVC covered hardwood pergola, constructed over the top of the area to provide shelter during rainfall.

At the far end of the utility area lies a Japanese Garden, also installed by Pornchai Garden.

Thai Rock Gardens

A Thai rock garden, or rockery, is an excellent way to decorate an uneven or unattractive part of the garden and can be employed well in both large and small spaces. In the example above, you can see that plastic coat has been layed on the ground surface to ensure that weeds and plants do not grow through the spaces.

The rock garden can be enhanced with well placed planting and foliage, garden ornaments and statuettes, wooden stumps and various interesting features. Larger rocks for effect also work well and can be possibly used as seating.

There are thousands of different looks and styles which can be used effectively within both formal or more natural backgrounds. Larger rock gardens should be made to look expansive, flowing, and as natural as possible. Within smaller nooks and spaces, a well designed rock garden can be just as visually effective, as has the added bonus of being low maintenance.

When designing a rock garden, attention should be paid to the colour combinations of the rock, any brickwork or seating, and plants. To ensure that the rock garden really leaves a pleasant visual impact, ensure that the colours used work well with the surrounding landscape.
