The brief for front and rear gardens was to integrate some existing features and mature planting. The philosophy for the design, was a garden only works when it has people utilising the areas.
The many entertainment areas offer a place to relax and enjoy nature in a suburban context. Yet, if we look at the areas in more detail, it constitutes the use of quality new or reused materials. The old red Melbourne bricks are aged up to 100 years. Our signature gabion benches link the many areas.
Sculpture installations provide points of interest throughout. The soft landscaping is about swathes of each group of plants and where possible repetition. Groundcovers break down the edges of the hard landscaping.
There is something for all ages in this garden – vegie beds, play areas for children and adults alike. Chickens roam free and there is always a place to sit and reflect.
