Atelier Maleyran

Cette magnifique maison dite arcachonnaise restaurée par un architecte n’avait besoin que d’être mise en valeur. La terrasse bois est prolongée par une nouvelle, plus moderne, en béton désactivé blanc. La vue est ouverte sur la plage, légèrement filtrée par une clôture basse et plantée d’azalées ce qui permet de mettre à distance les promeneurs en contre bas. La position exceptionnelle et le paysage suffisent au caractère de cet espace.

This custom DIY fireplace and pizza was designed by Backyard Flare and built by the homeowner using a Backyard Flare construction plan. The structure was stuccoed and tile was used as an accent. The pizza oven was painted a great red to make it stick out.

This small beach side bungalow was looking to update the front yard plantings to add salt-tolerant, summer flowering shrubs and perennials that were low maintenance. The plantings included some of the owners favorite plants (Lamb's Ears and Roses).

Beach Style Garden Design Ideas

Get Inspired by Beach Style 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 beach style 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 Beach Style Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a beach style 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 beach style 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 beach style 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.
