On full display from the home, this garden with grass mounds and pergola inspires intrigue and adventure – lawn bowls might be out though

Landscape by Bell Landscapes

Setting

The house has a strong connection to the landscape due to the expansive glazing provided by the doors and windows at the rear.

This means the landscape is viewed from all areas inside the living and kitchen zones. 

The large spotted gum deck creates the bridge between the home and gardens. 


The brief

The client brief was to have a garden that inspired fun, play, and adventure and not your typical patch of lawn with a few plants around the sides – they wanted something unique and fun and encouraged us to think outside the box!

Rising to the situation

In response Bell Landscapes introduced two eye-catching features above and beyond the lush plantings.

The previously small, flat lawn has been reinvented with intriguing backyard mounds that could be anything from lawn sculpture to a hobbit's hill-like home.

The mounds were created with soil, road base and a small amount of cement to stabilise them.

The outcome is a highly individualistic backyard outlook culminating with the other standout feature – a timber pergola at the rear of the garden.

Character recycled brick paving and blue stone steppers complete the intriguing, almost magical picture.
