Outdoor bathroom and retreat

Fusion Landscape Design Limited

Outdoor bathroom and meditation/yoga area. This is a tiny space with a sense of enclosure and privacy. Two of the walls being zincalume corrugated iron and the others old recycled railway sleepers. The ground cover plantings are a combination of lawn camomile, assorted thymes and purple sage creating a fragrant walk to both the bath and the yoga /meditation platform. Various mints and rosemary which are planted on the perimeter mixed in with subtropical plants are also for picking and adding to the bath water. A brugmansia and frangipani have also been planted for their fragrance. There is also a small self contained water feature in one corner. The bath is plumbed into the house water system so many hours can be spent luxuriating in the deep cast iron, claw foot bath.

Jardin japones con Niwaki

Jardines Japoneses

El espacio de este jardin tiene una ubicacion de privilegio dentro de la casa. Todas las areas comunes, incluyendo el comedor y la sala de estar estan directamente involucradas con este jardin. El desafio era realizar un espacio que desde al menos tres vistas fueran distintas. El simple echo de no tener un solo frente complicaba mucho la propuesta. Como se puede ver en el conjunto de fotografias y el video, un rio seco divide la escena en dos mitades, pero que a su vez se vinculan entre si a traves de un camino de rocas. Este camino tiene la funcion de integrar ambas partes. El cambio que se realizo en este jardin es muy notorio. Se incorporo un niwaki (arbol trabajado en forma de bonsai). El arbol en cuestion es un Pinus pentaphylla, una especie muy apropiada para este tipo de jardin. Enrique Acevedo Nancollas

Pondless Water Feature

Parker Landscape Design

A pondless water feature constructed for beauty. Shelves of Moss rock boulder were constructed at precise elevations to create a tranquil sound of flowing water. Water feature was designed for safety - our customer has small children and they did not want any depth of standing water. Lighting accentuates the surrounding landscape, water and boulder to provide a wonderful evening ambiance.

Davidson Design Studio

A family garden where the premium was on an open kick about lawn for the children, while also providing amazing outdoor entertaining and relaxation spaces for the parents. The feature element is the timber pergola complete with a custom made oculus to the sky. Timber decking to the pergola and the entertaining space at the rear of the home provide natural surfaces that perfectly complement the living garden elements. Feature rockwork is thoughtfully located throughout the garden and placed to create interest and story. Large bluestone slab steppers through coarse ballast paths provide access around the home. Custom designed and made metal screens are installed to the narrow side garden to provide a frame for climbing plants and offer views from within the home and privacy from neighbours.

Asian Backyard Garden Design Ideas

Get Inspired by Asian 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 Asian 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 an Asian Garden for Your Home

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