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