Project Overview
The client approached us after noticing our previous work at their neighbor’s property. Having lived in their home for four years, they felt the outdoor space was underwhelming and lacked functionality.
The existing landscaping featured neglected sandstone paving, which had become discolored and uneven due to years of exposure and inadequate maintenance. Additionally, there was no clear structure or dedicated areas for entertaining, leaving the space underutilised.
This is a common scenario in properties where developers allocate minimal budget to landscaping, often resulting in uninspiring and impractical designs.
The client envisioned a complete transformation that would not only modernise the landscape but also enhance the functionality of the space, providing defined areas for entertaining and relaxing.
Project Priorities
- Expanding the patio to accommodate larger gatherings and additional seating options.
- Introducing raised planters with structured and seasonal planting to add greenery and texture.
- Enhancing evening usability through thoughtfully placed garden lighting.
- Installing an automated pergola and fireplace to create a cozy and versatile chill-out zone.
- Addressing the poor drainage issues on the lawn to ensure the entire outdoor area was usable year-round.
The client’s ultimate goal was to elevate their outdoor living space, making it a seamless extension of their home, while also adding value and visual impact to the property.
