With now and the future in mind

Designed by Design and Garden Landscapes

From the landscape designer:

This garden was designed around a house renovation that transformed the whole space into a more modern and contemporary garden build.

The garden design was focused around merging the old with the new, and the owner's brief was to design and build an easy care, modern garden that will bring her enjoyment for years to come.

The main focus is the outdoor entertaining space, which is placed to allow easy indoor-outdoor flow, with new paved and decked surfaces allowing level access into and out of the house.

The use of shiplap concrete walls and planters allows areas to be defined as well as for a new set of floating steps to be placed as the main access into the house from the drive – all with lighting for dramatic, safe effect at night.

An outdoor bar leaner and outdoor table and seats sets the theme for easy city living while access all around the house is taken care of with decks and non-slip surfaces.

The plantings are based on allowing more colourful themes around the sitting areas, while the main boundary gardens are established to quickly fill and form total cover at the same time adding interest with form and texture and ensuring little maintenance is required.

The garden not only is easy to live with, it looks as good at night, as it is does in the daytime.
