Vegetable Garden

Fresh Home & Garden Services

The clients wanted to utilise this unused area of their backyard for a productive vegetable garden. We had previously prepared this area as part of a retaining wall project and so had installed access to tap into storm water drainage. The clients also wanted the Veggie Patch fully irrigated so we laid PVC pipe from the site of a future rain water tank and pump with irrigation pipe to connect to the Vegetable Garden and also other lines into the pop-up lawn irrigation before the area was paved for their boat. Since lawn and sprayer irrigation are the first things to be cut under water restrictions we wanted to future proof their vegetable garden and lawn by utilising the future rain water tank. As this will be a kitchen garden we paved the access rather than using crushed granite so that in those kitchen emergencies clean shoes and feet would be going back into the house. The client also owns two very mischievous Boxer dogs so protecting the the vegetable garden was a must. The client wanted us to refurbish some old green steel pool fencing and gate. So we primed, painted the fence panels, gate and posts and worked around the lengths to get the desired result. Treated pine sleepers 200 x 75 mm were used to build the 600 mm high raised vegetable garden beds. 100 mm Socked slotted Agi line was used for drainage with 3 lines run to ensure no complaints from the neighbours. The drainage line was connected to the stormwater drainage system and 20 mm blue metal aggregate was used for drainage. The Vegetable garden beds were filled with a combination of the client's composted materials and Mushroom Compost. This was mulched with Sugar Cane Mulch.

Garden Design Ideas with a Vegetable Garden and with a Gate

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.
