NO TURF!!!! The property is 2,470 sq metres overlooking a magnificent 360-degree view. Situated in an area renowned for its immaculate formal gardens, seasonal plant selection and manicured lawns we were asked to design a low maintenance, arid garden with no turf. Whilst challenging, the clients complete resign to create a lasting testament to good […]
This architecturally designed home demanded restrained yet dramatic planting to highlight the clean lines & interesting mix of natural building materials. A green roof of winter flowering succulents complements the iconic Bottle Tree and arid zone that wraps around the entry of the home. Private tropical courtyards, native & subtropical screen planting produce an eclectic […]
Mounded turf in rolling shapes are punctuated with a stand of burgundy flowering Crepe Myrtles that complement the curves and architectural form of the home. An iconic Bottle Tree has centre stage at the end of the pool and is perfectly framed within the family rooms expansive picture window.
The client’s collection of sculptures, planters and plants was inspiration enough to create a garden with an eclectic plant palette. Giant Cowboy Cactus make prickly companions for Heliconia Hot Rio Nights. Strolling through this garden offers you an insight into our clients love of all things green.
The brief was ‘surround the home with a sub-tropical rainforest’. A solid rock cliff face forms the backbone for this garden. Presented with this challenge, several retaining and stacked rock walls now hidden under vegetation, provided the foundation to create this sub-tropical oasis. Layering of plants create an environment that is constantly changing and adapting […]
This low-maintenance and usable garden fills the limited spaces creating a ‘less is more’ atmosphere. Concrete rings filled with seasonal herbs and vegetables, oversized contemporary bowls for Limes and Olives and an array of cascading succulents smudge the lines between the environment and terrace structures.
The architectural clean lines and interesting curves are highlighted in this entry garden with thoughtful plant selection and placement. Meanwhile, the lush tropical planting in the backyard wraps around and disguises a playground of activity – trampoline, monkey bars and swings.
Entertaining or relaxation on every level. The top terrace framed with advanced Pandanus is perfect for winter nights by the firepit, that leads to the middle terrace and a pool bungalow for cooling down. The lower level, where inside meets outside, is seamless and surrounded with a mix of sculptural succulents.
A double block with 2 separate needs: one to surround the family home with a private tropical oasis reminiscent of Northern Queensland, swaying palms, vibrant colours & restful settings. The other to provide a dynamic play space for two active young boys. Plenty of grass & room to move.
The clean lines of the home & the client’s busy life style demanded simple, low maintenance & restrained planting. Boss created gardens to complement a well designed contemporary home on an exceptionally difficult site. Access, limited to one metre walkways up either side, whilst challenging, did not compromise the quality of the landscaping.
