We began this project with the idea of making a friendly entryway and social area under the Mulberry tree which provides much needed shade in this hot, mountainous area. The 'red fescue' meadow grass has a cooling effect and the agaves reduce the need for excess water and maintenance.
The backyard has a covered dining area with a corner lounge and fireplace. The large barbecue offers a cantilevered counter for entertaining. The waterfall into the pool is surrounded with bamboo and plantings that emulate the hillside beyond the property. The permeable paving and mix of Vitex and Olive trees provide shade for smaller seating areas to enjoy the variety of succulents throughout the garden

Christine Wilkie Garden DesignThe owners of this long, narrow garden wanted to transform it into a sociable space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation with a boho chic style with lots of textural contrast. An existing run of steep steps and brick retaining walls was to be completely removed in favour of safer, statement steps and textured retaining walls. A new patio in large format porcelain tiles was designed to deliver an inside-out feel complementing the house's interior flooring. An old shed to the rear was removed and replaced with a large, modern garden room that does double duty as both a yoga studio and party/play room. To take advantage of the afternoon sun, a second small patio was created halfway down the garden. An eclectic mix of memorabilia and decorative accessories add a personal touch and provide pops of colour and visual interest throughout the garden.
The new main patio was designed to provide plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as a lounge space with a modern outdoor sofa dressed with comfy cushions and storm candle accessories. The relaxing sound of water is provided in the shape of a spherical rainbow sandstone water feature while a large egg chair, surrounded by an eclectic mix of planters, provides views across the whole garden. New terraced retaining walls are finished in a splitface slate cladding for textural interest while an L-shaped run of wide steps lead you down to the lawn area where a stepping stone path leads on to the next area of the garden.
A contemplation area, complete with lanterns and planters, is created at the halfway point with space for a pre-loved bench of sentimental value on which to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. The whole area is zoned with the addition of a bespoke western red cedar pergola giving a sense of enclosure and linking this area back to the cedar batten boundary treatment at the upper patio level. To the rear of the garden sits a new, modern garden room, complete with its own disco balls and a patio just large enough for a bistro table and chair set. The area is completed with timber sleeper raised beds and a set of steps leading up to the main lawn level. A combination of low-maintenance planting and retained mature shrubs, complete the garden scheme while garden lighting extends the garden's use well into the evening.
Palmetto Outdoor SpacesAdd a freestanding patio cover to your backyard space to protect it from sun, heat, and rain. This cover opens by remote. When open it allows sunshine and warming solar energy into home and onto patio during cooler months. When partially opened it still keeps out sun, but allows hot air to escape, providing more comfort. Impress your friends with this state the art shade structure. Add a UL Wet Listed Fan to keep the cool air circulating.
