Residential Renovation

Marilyn's Dreamscapes L.L.C.

The builder wanted a wall built here to hold in this grade change. Bringing in deep rooted plants provided interest, natural habitat and beauty for both the home owner and next door neighbor. Boulders were placed within the bank to move the water in a serpentine pattern to slow down erosion. The small walkway provides a channel for heavy rains to make their way to the lake and stay out of the neighbors yard.

El jardín de Alicia

Verdosea

Intervención integral en el jardín de una vivienda particular. Los muros que delimitan el jardín se visten de verde con el sistema de jardines verticales ideado por Verdosea, que lo llenan de plantas aromáticas. En el resto del jardín, se renueva el arriate perimetral, y se crea una nueva delimitación para éste. Además, las antigüedades conservadas por la dueña de la casa se ponen en contexto y cobran protagonismo, dando un lugar especial sobre todo a la bañera, elevada sobre una plataforma e iluminada en su parte posterior. En otra de las zonas de los muros límite de la propiedad, se disponen guías para que las trepadoras crezcan a su aire, invadiendo de verdor estas áreas.

London Projects Case Study

The Garden Trellis Company

At the end of 2020, The Garden Trellis Co finished work on a very large-scale house renovation project commissioned by London Projects. Working from the designer’s initial sketches, we custom built, delivered and installed joinery including trellis, gates, illusion panels, arch-work and a utility shed. James Gee was the GTC Project Manager assigned, working with the GTC team on the project from tender stage, to then coordinating with the contractors QS and site management, the landscaper, garden designer, and the architect. James said “This was a particularly exciting project as Wilbraham House is a very prestigious house, and the garden is huge and has shared boundaries with around 12 different properties. I can’t wait to see it when the garden is complete and planted (probably by Spring 2021) it will be amazing!”

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.
