Outside of Spokane, this formal garden area resides along this large property. Our clients wanted to garden without bending over, so these raised beds were built so the plants and vegetables sit about waist high. The metal fence is threaded tighter on the bottom to keep smaller critters out.

Preston Hollow

Integrated Home Improvement

This client wanted a custom wrought iron fence so that dogs and children alike couldn't access a dangerous ditch area of their backyard. The end result was a 100' + long, winding wrought iron fence that split the enormous backyard in two with a diagonal streak. This little piece of wrought iron innovation also included three gates with access to an outdoor patio, and entrances and exits to the other side of the backyard.

The Lodge, Fulham Cemetery (Grand Designs)

Harry Holding Studio

The front garden for an innovative property in Fulham Cemetery - the house featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs in January 2021. The design had to enhance the relationship with the bold, contemporary architecture and open up a dialogue with the wild green space beyond its boundaries. Seen here in the height of summer, this space is an immersive walk through a naturalistic and pollinator rich planting scheme.

Круговорот цвета. Дубровка 2021

ARCADIA GARDEN Ландшафтная Студия

Участок, площадью 45 соток в стародачном поселке. Хозяева докупили 25 соток. В доме решили полностью обновить интерьеры. В проекте сада учитывались пожелания иметь несколько отдельных зон отдыха. Были предложены- площадка с застекленной беседкой для зимних поседелок для главы семейства, спортивная площадк с баскетбольным кольцом для сына, площадка для загара для дочери, место для качелей для хозяйки и площадка в высокой части сада для установки больших качелей с двумя сиденьями. В растительном дизайне также получилось несколько тематических зон- притененная лесная тропинка из плитняка, кедровая роща с луговыми цветами, изысканные цветники под большим дубом у дома и открытые холмистые газоны. Очень много цветения-желание хозяйки. Тонко подобранная гамма рифмуется с домом и деревянными строениями. В качестве материала подпорной стенки и ступеней в газоне использован кортен- бюджетный и современный вариант.

Lennox Property

Treehouse Landscape Design

This beautiful property featured beautiful decks, patios, a pool, water fall, sport court and stone planters, but the landscape needed to be expanded, refreshed and revived for sale. Using an eye for beauty and balance, we added beautiful plants, lighting, a new lawn, bark, a fire pit area, screening shrubs for the neighbors, and new plants for the patio planters. It turned out beautiful and was sold at a great price for the sellers.

Brunswick East - Traditional vibes with a contemporary twist!

Inspiring Landscape Solutions by Parveen Dhaliwal

Significant work was involved to upgrade and modernise the house but within a reasonable budget. The garden has a small footprint both in the front and rear, and there were many practical considerations to tackle like the use of space, navigation and privacy. ⁠⁠ I especially love the new paving and stepwork for the front garden, as the stone used is one of my favourites in terms of material and colour, and the garden looks amazing at night. ⁠ ⁠ There are little nuances like a boulder placed as a seating area with an existing garden ornament that is sentimental to the clients (mummy koala holding its baby) that add an emotional element to the space. ⁠ ⁠ I love the tessellated tiles used for their front porch, replacing what was just a red painted concrete floor. It’s modern but adds that element of sophistication to the space and suits the house style and area. ⁠ ⁠ The rear garden had to have storage, and we needed to ensure that the client’s car was able to be parked but should not detract from the newly landscaped space. ⁠ ⁠ There is a granny flat in their rear garden that gets rented out, so I had to think about how to create privacy for both parties (the tenant and my clients)! ⁠ ⁠ The choice of plants was a little different as I’d mixed in succulents with exotics that give some seasonality impacts over the year. I really love the new fascia of the conservatory and the new built-in external cupboards and workbench! ⁠ ⁠

В стиле Райта. Модернизм. КП Монтевиль. 2021 г.

ARCADIA GARDEN Ландшафтная Студия

Небольшое диагональное понижение рельефа в приватной части мы разбили террасированием на удобные лужайки и слегка усилили, подняв грунт в зонах террас, что позволило и задекорировать торцы высотой около метра и дать возможность спуска с них прямо на газон. Лаконичные растительные объемы мягко обтекают лужайки и удобные широкие ступени-спуски, оптимально гармонирующие с распластанным силуэтом архитектуры в стиле Райта и ступенчатым стилем крыш. Вид с террас и панорамных окон на общественный парк решили отделить группами кулис, не создавая четкой границы. Забор с соседом слева закрыли плотной линейной изгородью, а соседский дом справа удачно спрятали за кедровой кулисой переменной высоты. Лаконичность форм растений и монотонность цветовой гаммы белого сада сполна компенсируется выразительностью раскидистых силуэтов нашей любимицы ирги канадской. Ассортимент растений довольно обширный и осенью это проявляется в разными оттенках листвы-от оранжевого до малиново-фиолетового. В ландшафтном освещении сделан упор на подсветку растений и ступеней.

Our client wanted to do their own project but needed help with designing and the construction of 3 walls and steps down their very sloped side yard as well as a stamped concrete patio. We designed 3 tiers to take care of the slope and built a nice curved step stone walkway to carry down to the patio and sitting area. With that we left the rest of the "easy stuff" to our clients to tackle on their own!!!

Garden Design Ideas with Natural Stone Pavers and a Metal Fence

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.
