Apt StudiosThis garden was designed next to a river so the design team created a raised garden to prevent flooding. English oak timbers were used to retain the bank nearest the house an along the river to create an elevated platform. Paving was laid around the house with a glass balustrade along the bank which houses a globe seating pod overlooking the river. A formal law lined with pleached trees and planting leads up to the bespoke designed, cedar clad garden office with a green sedum roof which attracts wildlife and bees.

Icon Projects Ltd.In Vancouver, we try to use our outdoor space whever it isn't raining or snowing. This huge back yard is equipped with everything you will need to entertain including a HUGE paved patio, a natural gas fire pit, built in grill, and custom 8 ft custom water feature. And in a year as soon as these trees grow in, you will have complete privacy during the summer months, (without having the sun blocked out during the winter).
FormLA LandscapingThe decking is now slow-burning epay wood. When it does burn, it burns slowly, making it less likely to ignite the home. "Drought tolerant" Mediterranean plants were replaced with a mix of natives that better hold hydration and will "invade" nearby wildspaces. Readily visible here are Deer Grass, Purple Three Awn, and Cleveland Sage. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography

Dean Herald-Rolling Stone LandscapesDesigned to make the most of a steep site, this private home in Sydney’s south has created great spaces to enjoy the view of the water. The design features a covered main pavilion with a fully equipped kitchen including a sink, fridge and wood fire pizza oven. Designed for entertainment it also includes a large dining area, sunken spa and wall mounted TV. O the same level of the pavilion is a sunken fire pit area nestled underneath a large existing Frangipani. Travel down a set of steel stairs and you come to an inviting blue pool with wet edge spill over out to the bay. The curves of the pool and lower lawn area designed to add interest when viewing from above. A generous lounge and nearby pool pavilion provides plenty of places to relax by the pool and the cantilevered section of the pavilion, with feature timber panelling, ensures that there is shade poolside and look fantastic next to another mature Frangipani. The overall look and feel of the project is sleek and contemporary, with plants chosen to emphasise the shapes of the design and to add contrasting colours. This project is definitely a great place entertain and relax whilst enjoying the view of the water.
