猫と暮らす中庭のある家

猫と建築社

猫を安心して遊ばせることが出来る中庭。ウッドデッキ、モルタル、芝、土など様々な素材で五感を刺激し、室内飼いの猫たちのストレスを軽減。木登りしたり走り回ったり隠れたりと本能的な行動を促すこともまた環境エンリッチメントの向上につながっている。程よい間隔のルーバーフェンスは猫の脱走を防止しつつ、猫たちが外を眺めて楽しむことも出来る。

The overall goal of this property is to increase curb appeal and privacy in the front yard and create a tropical entertaining space in the backyard. An Areca Palm hedge is proposed along the roadway for privacy in the front yard. This type of treatment creates a visual buffer with the desired tropical aesthetic. Planter beds are proposed at the driveway along the street as well as in the corner near the intersection. Specimen palms and colorful shrubs are proposed in these beds. A paver patio is proposed off the sunroom double doors with a modern aluminum pergola. A screen wall along the backside of the pergola will block views to the shed while enjoying the outdoor lounge area. A built-in grill area with a bar counter and outdoor dining table is proposed to the right of the lounge area. A paver patio wraps the perimeter of the pool with the opportunity for lounge areas. Plants such as Traveller’s Palm, Foxtail Palm, Blue Capewort, and Coontie have been proposed throughout the yard to achieve a tropical modern aesthetic.

Raised Millboard Composite Decking in Windsor

Karl Harrison Landscapes Ltd

On this project our clients knew when they first moved in that the decking looked a little ropy. They took a step out onto the decking to have their foot go straight through it. Ouch… They searched online for advice and found Karl through The Decking Network. Karl visited to carry out a site survey and understand what the client needed. From here he was able to promptly put a quotation together. Once the quotation was agreed this project start to finish took 5 days to remove the old decking, install the new decking and install the custom Accoya ® balustrade. We used recycled plastic posts too, this deck won’t be going anywhere for a long time. The Millboard decking also has a 25-year warranty because it’s installed by an approved installer.

Garden Design Ideas with with Privacy Feature

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.
