Halcyon Natural Stone Veneer Privacy Wall

Quarry Mill

This beautiful residential exterior wall is built with Halcyon thin stone veneer from the Quarry Mill. Halcyon stone’s browns, tans, and gold shades create a balanced, neutral background for your space. This natural stone veneer is cut in rectangular blocks with mostly squared ends that allow you to use the stone for large and small projects. Whole-house siding, accent walls, and entryways are great choices for Halcyon stones. The variety of neutral colors also helps this stone blend into any existing décor. Over this stone, you can mount valuable artwork, electronics, or just use it to add dimension to a room, making Halcyon perfect of home and business settings.

We built this beautiful fence to replace the previous, but now rotted away fence line, to keep in Ziggy the poodle pup. As always, we used screws and pressure treated framing and posts.

Elbow Valley West

Twisted Rock Terrascape & Design, Inc.

Our client wanted to dress up the project with some cedar to help not only soften all of the rock work and stucco but also to help to shelter and cover the air conditioner units under the deck. We created a 3 panel screen that had 1 section as a gate for access that also gave us the added benefit of extra storage space for our client.

Backyard Update - Clairemont

We removed this water-thirsty lawn and replaced it with artificial turf and pavers. It's a huge upgrade and big water saver from what was there before. See the transformation with these before and afters.

Masters Common Project

Twisted Rock Terrascape & Design, Inc.

Our client wanted a maintenance free yard with no grass and minimal plantings. We designed and constructed a simple but very effective yard that suited their young family well. With a synthetic grass area for their children to play (and a future play structure) as well as a large paver patio for a dining table and chimenea for gatherings, this yard is all about enjoying the moments, not doing yard work!! We dressed it up with a few trees that will grow to provide some privacy as well as a nice cedar fence and privacy screens. Concrete edging rounds out the project that will ensure many years of enjoyment with no hassles!!

Get Inspired by Traditional 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 traditional 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 Traditional Garden for Your Home

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