We love looking at completed contemporary garden projects in a bid to get inspired for our own. But isn't it always a shame when you stumble upon something you love, then discover it's been installed in another country, with a totally different climate? There's no guarantee that the plants would thrive in the UK, what with our tempestuous weather, so how about looking a little closer to home for your ideas?

We've found some wonderful modern garden ideas right here in the UK and having been crafted by talented landscapers, you know they're going to be special. Take a look and see if any inspire you to grab your gardening gloves!

1. The contrast of white beds with the dramatic black tulips is incredible! What a monochrome masterpiece of a garden.

2. The use of shaped shrubs (opposed to colourful blooms) looks so fresh and different.

3. A vibrant seating area, coupled with super neat bushes, makes this garden a modern work of art.

4. Lawn? What lawn?! Nobody ever said you absolutely have to have grass in your garden and this project is convincing us to rip ours up.

5. The mix of materials in this patio not only looks fabulous, it also naturally lends itself to contained borders. We love all those modern swirls and curves!

6. This modern garden has been planned and executed to perfection. Just look at all the compartmentalised sections.

7. Small but perfectly formed, this garden is a delight. With a wooden terrace, funky orange screen and a wall-mounted water feature, it's got everything!

8. Why only focus on the plants when you can have an incredible water feature and unusual patio surround as the main focus?

9. Believe it or not, that large building is a 'shed'! The repeated rectangular motif looks so contemporary, whilst the white shingle is the perfect finishing material.

10. Nothing says modern garden quite like a contemporary art installation.

11. Separating the social and green areas is a modern trend for gardens and we love this sunken patio.

12. It might be small but this garden is the epitome of contemporary chic, especially with white fence panels.

13. When your home is a modern marvel, your garden should follow suit. This updated take on a courtyard space is phenomenal.

14. With green space becoming a commodity in urban areas, you need to get creative. How about a modern roof garden, complete with decking?

15. Technically, this is a garden as the house surrounds it and opens out into the space. We think this is the ultimate in modern gardens, given that it's sparsely decorated and ultra private.

16. When you're faced with an awkward plot, you make the most of it! Raised beds that lead to a pretty terrace might be our new favourite way to tackle an uneven space.

17. This all-weather garden certainly knows how to make the most of modern materials, motifs and funky plants.

18. While the materials are nothing short of rustic, the overall styling is so modern and fun. Seating, a table and breezy potted plants all enhance the feel.

19. What's more modern than a millimetre perfect lawn and a smattering of spiky plants?

20. This modern 'shoffice' (shed/office) is making us reevaluate our gardens!

21. This black and cherry wood colour scheme has created a modern garden with a difference.

22. Contrasting perfectly with a traditional home, this modern project shows that you can harmoniously blend two wildly different styles.
