South house gardens - Gold Award

Plantscape Design

Design Brief:

The clients had recently renovated their house to a contemporary style with a soft colour palette.

There is a 6m fall from the house down to the street. The front garden needed to be upgraded to complement the house, provide access to the front door from the street, be a pleasant area to pass through and site boundaries needed to be
established.

The front garden area has outcrops of bedrock and two substantial Eucalypts. The site required soil remediation; site grading; drainage; boundary retaining walls; lighting; new plants; and irrigation.

Predominantly Australian plants were used to create an Australian bush style setting within suburbia. 

Location ; Lane Cove, Sydney
