include improved entertaining areas and allocation for BBQ
respond to existing site structure and layout and to utilise where possible
include low garden walls as required to navigate site levels
provide a possible seated retreat at the rear of the pool
utilise existing larger palms and be cohesive with a tropical based planting design theme
tap into preexisting horticultural theme and extend and elevate this
include new shed positioning and large clothesline placement in design with screening off to disguise
screen off of existing neighbouring properties through plantings
attend to site levels to achieve good effect
complement and harmonize with the house but modernise and bring life to the property presentation
promote a ‘garden of scale’ with a tropical influence
carefully consider visual presentation of the gardens from new decked entertainment area
carefully consider best material finishes and colour selections as appropriate to overall presentation
consider styling samples as supplied by the client and give advise on possible inclusions
have simple understated detail to show off gardens as the hero
be budget conscious due to size – spend wisely
