The front garden features mostly native planting, to suit the two existing small gums. The goal is to give it a contemporary, naturalistic, and slightly wild feel.

​

The toned back selection creates a calming effect through the use of contrasting tones and foliage forms.

 

The colour scheme focuses on soft blues, greens and sand tones, with the occasional pop of burgundy to draw the eye. Shade tolerant plants feature in this south-facing space.

 

The garden serves a few key purposes: improving the appearance of the house from the street, as a pleasing view to look out on from the house, and to create privacy. It ensures a peaceful, grounding transition from public to private space.

 

The selection spill out onto the nature strip, ensuring a coherent look and feel for these two closely connected spaces.
