BE Landscape DesignAfter a tear-down/remodel we were left with a west facing sloped front yard without much privacy from the street, a blank palette as it were. Re purposed concrete was used to create an entrance way and a seating area. Colorful drought tolerant trees and plants were used strategically to screen out unwanted views, and to frame the beauty of the new landscape. This yard is an example of low water, low maintenance without looking like grandmas cactus garden.
Ecoscape Environmental DesignLow masonry retaining wall separates the yard, and allows for a layering of heights and containment of faster growing species. The rock retains heat, creating micro-zones that can help temperature sensitive flowers through our capricious Colorado springtime!

Sunrise Landscape + DesignA patio was built and walkway installed to the shed. A pipe was installed underneath the walkway with in the rock bed area for water to flow easily during rain storms and drain away from the home.

Amber Freda Garden DesignThis contemporary Boerum Hill, Brooklyn backyard features an ipe fence, bluestone patio, artificial turf lawn, and a neatly lined up row of hornbeam trees. Artificial turf has come a long way in recent years and is much more realistic looking than it used to be. Read more about this garden on my blog, www.amberfreda.com.
Metamorphic DesignThe taller fence offers much greater privacy from upslope neighbors, and "de-clutters" the corner, making for a far more calming and streamlined view
Vogue & Vine - Landscape Designers SydneyWe were called in to completely renovate this semi established garden in Edglecliff.
We established further boundaries using buxus and brought in new plants to help bring the space a more contemporary and balanced feel.
Kath Baggaley Garden DesignThe addition of the pergola and deck (where once there was a cramped ugly tiled porch) add to the appeal. A combination of drought tolerant perennials flourish here including Salvia leucantha, clipped Browalia and Gaillardias. The metal obelisks support floxgloves and delphiniums in spring.
FormLA LandscapingA little splashing is a good thing here, as fragrant White Sage and delicate Lilac Verbena will enjoy the drink!

Front garden Design | Stone Masonry Restoration | Colour selection
The client brief was to design a new fence and entrance including garden, restoration of the façade including verandah of this old beauty. This gorgeous 115 year old, villa required extensive renovation to the façade, timberwork and verandah.
Withing this design our client wanted a new, very generous entrance where she could greet her broad circle of friends and family.
Our client requested a modern take on the ‘old’ and she wanted every plant she has ever loved, in her new garden, as this was to be her last move. Jill is an avid gardener at age 82, she maintains her own garden and each plant has special memories and she wanted a garden that represented her many gardens in the past, plants from friends and plants that prompted wonderful stories. In fact, a true ‘memory garden’.
The garden is peppered with deciduous trees, perennial plants that give texture and interest, annuals and plants that flower throughout the seasons.
We were given free rein to select colours and finishes for the colour palette and hardscaping. However, one constraint was that Jill wanted to retain the terrazzo on the front verandah. Whilst on a site visit we found the original slate from the verandah in the back garden holding up the raised vegetable garden. We re-purposed this and used them as steppers in the front garden.
To enhance the design and to encourage bees and birds into the garden we included a spun copper dish from Mallee Design.
A garden that we have had the very great pleasure to design and bring to life.

Amber Freda Garden DesignThis Gowanus, Brooklyn backyard features a contemporary design that incorporates bluestone patios with knotty cedar fencing and planters. We added a patch of sod for the client's children to play on. The plantings are mostly evergreens, with some deciduous plantings mixed in as well for seasonal interest.
