Another look at the perfectly positioned English Elm (Ulmus quercifolia). The elm has had its canopy professionally lifted to maximise light. The silver foliage is Jacobaea maritima (syn. Senecio cineraria) - a faboulous dry tolerant mounding ground cover for sun or part shade.

Genus Landscape Architects

An exciting project with the prospect of restoring a stunning 1970s house and garden by the office of Sir Roy Grounds. The original design by landscape architect Lorand Sebestyen created a stunning Japanese garden which complemented the architecture of the residence. In collaboration with Xen Architecture, Genus faced the challenge of re-invigorating the run-down outdoor spaces with a design that was influenced by the original landscape architect's intent and catered to the requirements of the new owners. The design is centred around the use of hard surfaces, from random laid natural stone to exposed aggregate concrete. The driveway entry now becomes an open paved courtyard that evokes the imagery of Sebestyen's original sketch, and highlights the character of the existing Cedar tree. The swimming pool terrace is a minimal layout of exposed aggregate with bluestone pool coping, bordered by decorative fence paneles and strips of bamboo and allows the focus to be the original Japanes pool house, gateway, bridge and lantern. A planting pallette of Japanese Maples, Acacia 'Limelight', Clumping Bamboo and Orange Jessamine provide soft and textured borders and offset the built form of the house and garden. A feature courtyard and existing water wall provide the setting for a formal fish pond, which also reflects the shape of the original swimming pool.

This garden is all about creating a fun, safe environment for kids to learn and play. Log steppers and boulders of varying heights encourage the young ones to test their balance, while mini railway sleepers provide a place to rest and chat. The bush tucker garden provides a sensory experience and an opportunity for the kids to learn about bush food and food growing.

Australian Native Green Garden Design Ideas

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
