A nice view of the custom steel veggie beds - plenty of chard here! Dry set flagstones are inter-planted with Kurapia ground cover, both low water and low maintenance. This was a great little design-build project for some great clients! We oversaw the construction of the shed, designed and built the pergola, deck, outdoor kitchen, water feature, flagstone patio, as well as installing the plants, irrigation and landscape lighting. So pretty at night!

This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.

Having longed for an Alitex for years, our customer chose to treat herself as soon as retirement came. This time also involved renovations to the kitchen, extending into a dining area with beautiful French windows that allow light to pour in whilst drawing your eye to the end of the garden - where her new greenhouse is nestled. Our customer chose an Olive Green Mottisfont, the perfect size to tuck into her petite garden and the ideal colour to blend into its surroundings. The greenhouse has been accessorised with a reservoir, loved by the youngest members of the family, a potting shoe which makes a world of difference from the days of potting up on the lawn, and plenty of shelving to maximise the use of space. Growing inside are lots of vegetables including tomatoes, aubergine, peppers and cucumbers. The garden itself is filled with numerous plants and flowers, colours and scents. Inspired by a trip to India, the beds have been designed into a staggered cruciform shape around the border of the lawn. They outline the garden, drawing your eye up to the greenhouse.

Using two large antique stone bowls from the client's collection, I designed a fountain that appears to spill from the upper to lower fountain. The upper bowl recirculates on itself and the lower fountain recirculates via a copper pipe but the illusion is created that it is one fountain.

Stepping stones in a minimal gravel paved area lead past two lounge chairs to the intimate dining area. The herringbone-patterned limestone patio dissipates into a lush planting bed filled with loose swaths of shade-loving perennials and seasonal bulbs. Beech hedging, and formal clipped evergreens, surround the space and provide privacy, structure and winter interest to the garden. On axis to the main interior living space of the home, the fountain, is the focal point of the garden. A limestone water wall featuring an engraved pattern of fallen Honey Locust leaves nods to the centrally located mature Honey Locust tree that anchors the garden. Water, flowing down the wall, falls a short distance into a pool with a submerged limestone panel. The light noise of the falling water helps soften the sounds of the bustling downtown neighbourhood, creating a tranquil back drop for living and entertaining.

Ce jardin urbain a été conçu pour dynamiser un terrain de forme carré et offrir une palette florale généreuse, grâce à une composition habile de massifs abondamment plantés. Des courbes énergisantes entourent une sélection de plantes aimant le soleil : agrumes, lantana, pistachier lentisque, pittosporum nain, sauge de Russie, lavande, lys d'un jour, agapanthe, menthe des chats et fines herbes. Des fleurs à couleurs complémentaires envoient une invitation au "carpe diem", en tant qu'expressions éphémères d'une beauté intemporelle. Outre son effet apaisant, la pièce d'eau sert d'écran acoustique par rapport au contexte urbain environnant. L'attention portée aux détails et les contours inattendus font de ce jardin à la fois une peinture à contempler et un espace pour des fêtes intimes.

The backyard is small and uninviting until we transformed it into a comfortable and functional area for entertaining. The front yard was leveled and converted into a play area for small children and two large dogs.

A vertical garden or green wall is the perfect way to bring life into the home and lighten up an otherwise unusable space. This Vertical garden installation in a small atrium, was part of our modernist styled courtyard project. The natural stone and bold green foilage invoke the midcentury spirit.

An unused carapace was transformed into a lush and peaceful tropical space with a bluestone paved patio and organic steppers weaving through the space, with a cantilevered timber bench midway. Unsightly garbage bins were hidden with a custom designed hardwood screen.

The parkway was designed to provide areas of hardscape where car passengers need to climb in/out. The plant selection is purposely kept low in height so as to facilitate foot traffic, maneuvering cars, and cannot impede car doors.

Even in the middle of summer, the garden's full sun foliage, including White Sage (Salvia apiana) and Red Buckwheat (Eriogonum grande var. rubescens) is vibrant, hydrated and blooming.
