Our clients set out on designing and building their new home several years before implementation in 2016.
Our client wanted a place to enjoy the outdoor summer life and relax and retreat from the busy world they frequently courted.
2 years of Designing
Our Landscape Design team worked carefully with our client since 2014 to design the garden and external spaces to complement the style and requirements, harmonised with the house design, creating a slick Contemporary Family garden.
Drainage Problems
The old garden was almost unusable during the wetter 6 months of the year, with huge drainage and high water table problems, so our design team provided a complete drainage solution for the lawns, paths and patios, to eradicate the problem, and store the water within a rainwater harvesting facility to serve the garden within the dryer months.
Spacious Sawn Sandstone Terraces
Including a Kitchen, Lounge and Dining Space creating an outdoor multifunctional space to Cook, Eat, Relax and Play.
Large Lawn Expanse
Creating a stunning feature, a green carpet for kicking a ball or finding a spot to sunbathe.
Garden Room
Western Red Cedar Clad garden room creating a space for children to make a Den.
Planting Scheme

Landscape Lighting Scheme
Over 90 Light fittings throughout the scheme, including LED Marker lights within the picture frames of the terraces, Recessed and Spike mounted uplighters to warm the walls and invigorate the planting scheme and features, Dramatic Uplighting within the Large Trees in the Garden.
