A once over grown area, boggy part of the curtilage of this replacement dwelling development. Implementing extensive drainage, tree planting and dry stone walling, the walled garden is now maturing into a beautiful private garden area of this soon to be stunning home development. With sunken dry stone walled private seating area, Box hedging, pleached Hornbeam, oak cleft gates, dry stone walling and wild life loving planting and views over rolling hills and countryside, this garden is a beautiful addition to this developments Landscape Architecture design.

We were invited to design the RHS feature garden for Chelsea Flower Show 2024 - 'The RHS No Adults Allowed Garden'. Collaborating with 30 school children from Sulivan Primary School we created a ground-breaking show garden that highlighted the importance of access to nature through a beautiful and immersive show garden. After a great success at the show, the garden was relocated to Sulivan Primary School - a state school in Fulham - where it continues to live on and benefit many thousands of children and families from the local community.

An overgrown Inner West courtyard was transformed into a contemporary garden with 2 distinct zone - a bluestone paved area for cooking and dining and a destination cantilevered, polished concrete bench seat suspended from a natural stone raised garden bed and wall. Select Australian native plants for a true Aussie nature haven provide interest for both the owners and local wildlife. Native ground cover plants will gradually spread between the organic bluestone stepping stones for a lush green carpet. A corten steel planter ring provides another focal point with a magnificent Australian Grass Tree.

The owners of this property had carried out a renovation that transformed a small beachside fibro cottage into a contemporary timber and stone beach house – and needed a garden to match. Given the location right next to the beach, it was important this garden not only provide a wonderful entrance to the home, but provide plenty of space for entertaining and enhance the already inspiring coastal views. In many ways, this was a quintessentially Australian project and, as such, we used a selection of classic products that formed a timeless aesthetic and coastal palette. We started with a must for any coastal home – timber decking, created with Australian tallowwood and matched by a classic tallowwood feature post at the entry. After including a feature Sydney sandstone wall, we built a matching sandstone path, leading to sandstone steps and a prominent Chinese Elm at the entrance to ensure privacy – and provide shade, all complemented with classic cast bronze light fittings. Given the site’s salty winds and northerly aspect it was important our plant selection included hardy species, such as hedges of Murraya and Buxus, feature plantings of Camellia sasanqua and infill plantings of Gardenia, Trachelospermum, Stephanotis and Clivea. The end result is a beautiful Mediterranean garden nestled within a classic Australian setting.
