Waterfall Feature

Frontiers Landscape

A natural waterfall feature in a client's back yard. As with all our landscape projects, we aim to make any back yard feature like this look natural and not man-made.

Outdoor Fireplace

Auldton Stoves Ltd

Unlike other outdoor fireplaces, this one is made from Volcanic Pumice, sourced from the Hekla Volcano in Iceland. The natural pumice gives this outdoor fireplace all the insulation needed to have a safe and spectacular focal point in any garden. Ideal for large manicured gardens or small city hideaway courtyards. The relatively small footprint also means that this can be placed against any wall in even the tiniest of gardens or yards. Being so well insulated it has been tested for combustable material meaning it has no problem backing onto or sitting on wood or plastic. Having an outdoor fireplace really does change the way that you entertain with friends and family. It really can transform your outdoor area into a useable space all year round. Create a Cosy warm atmosphere and bring everybody together this yea!

We have designed a focal point fireplace within a tiny space, breaking up the overbearing retaining wall and draping the planting down over the wall to soften. In small gardens we often use large specimen plants and sculptural oversized pots; being so bold in such as a small space really works. The existing retaining wall has been dressed and divided to make it less overbearing and oppressive. We have painted the fence black further emphasising the plants. We have included some uplighting behind the large pots to backlight as well as under the trees to make this a very appealing garden at night. We have set a bio-ethanol firebowl within the burnt orange-painted fireplace, creating a focus point. Bold leafy planting includes Fatsia, Erybotria and Dicksonia.

Floreat Garden

Melanie Driver Landscape and Garden Design

The garden was terraced by means of generous zigzag steps following the shape of the house and running the width of the garden to accentuate width and provide clean modern lines. The previously cramped space for paving was significantly increased and divided the garden into separate functional areas without losing a sense of space and openness. Porcelain in two colours was chosen to provide the exact texture and colour scheme their clients required. The main focal point is the raised fireplace with water blade falling into a pool feeding a rill dropping through the steps from the upper to lower patio. The rill lines up with a main view from the house and bisects the garden helping create separation of the different areas. The overall effect give a really unique appeal to the garden and enhances the year round appreciation and usability of the garden.

Modern Garden Design Ideas with with Fireplace

Get Inspired by Modern 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 modern 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 Modern Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a modern 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 modern 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 modern 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.
