Customer wanted to ditch their grass yard in favor of colorful native plants that would create a charming scene for friends and neighbors alike. They dreamed of a gathering space in their front yard that looked out over their native plantings, so we added a seating area with cafe lights and raised steel planters so that the plantings could be enjoyed while seated. Black star gravel was added for furniture and plant contrast, making them pop against the home and landscaping.

Architecte Paysagiste Cannes | Opulent refuge d'été

Riviera Gardens. Architecte Paysagiste Côte d'Azur

Célébrant d'innombrables saisons de vacances ensoleillées et inoubliables, la meilleure façon de découvrir cette propriété est en marchant pieds nus. Une allée accueillante, faite en pierre et gazon, bordée par des massifs somptueux, mène vers la zone de la piscine. Constitué de lignes droites ou de contours arrondis, ponctués par des arbustes taillés en boules, le dessin enveloppe la maison dans un décor animé. L'espace extérieur étale un éventail de plantes à floraison estivale, vivaces et de saison. Respectant la demande des clients de mettre un espace ample à disposition de leurs grands enfants, qui adorent jouer sur l'herbe, une grande superficie de pelouse a été posée comme un tapis mou proche de la terrasse principale. Les oliviers centenaires existants, pièces centrales de l'agencement, soulignent les vues spectaculaires sur la baie de Cannes et le Massif de l'Estérel.

Sonoma Splendor

K. Dakin Design Inc.

This second home outside of Sebastopol, CA is perched on a ridge with sweeping views of Bodega Bay. The stunning scale of this environment also provides challenges to creating the feeling of shelter - making the house a home. Dakin approached this project with sight lines in mind, placing a large boulder so that it anchors a “near” view from inside the home to balance vastness of the ridge and ocean beyond. This attention to the owner’s perspective is also expressed through a layering of climate appropriate plants and California natives seen through the kitchen window. California evergreens such as camellias, silk tassels and madrones harmonize with existing sequoias, redwood groves and a wildflower meadow on site. The diversity of this climate zone is on display in this project, which also features succulents, Douglas fir and an olive grove. In addition to ocean weather, populations of gopher and deer on site made it necessary for Dakin to protect plant roots with baskets and select plant species resistant to deer.

Chiltern Garden Design were approached to create a new planting design to completely transform this internal courtyard space at Amersham Hospital. Using a lush palette of textural and coloured foliage plants, we brought to life this mostly shady space, and created a haven for the nurses and staff to relax and get time away from their busy NHS jobs, as well as a haven for wildlife.

Brown Garden Design Ideas with with Flowerbed

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.
