Fun Backyard that was made for living, With making a missed place pool flow with the rest of the Yard. The client wants to use the yard asa place for concerts and Large Parties. The backyard opens to beautiful open space so the garden design and lay out needs to blend, frame but most all not obscure the view. The word party made us very aware of the flow and ease of use and walking around the Garden. In this Picture the Mother Hips Are performing

Nestled out of the way, this fire pit and seating area provides the ideal vantage point for an evening pool party. Now, our clients can relax by the warm fire while watching their kids play in the yard. Creating multiple spaces that ultimately flowed together was one of our clients' main goals, and they were thrilled with the outcome!

A space for the short game

User

Giving guests a place to eat, relax by the fire and practice their golf game, we made smart use of the space in this yard. A covered patio with ceiling fan is the perfect place for guests to gather for a meal. We added a unique fire feature with stone bench behind it so guests can sit and warm themselves without having to search for a chair. We added turf and a putting green for a bit of recreation. Potted plants add the finishing touch to this low maintenance space.

Réalisation d'un jardin avec du gazon naturel, un espace de vie chaleureux pour recevoir ses amis autour d'un feu, en hiver comme en été, le tout intégré dans la nature. Au fil du temps, les propriétaires se sont appropriés ce foyer pour organiser des barbecue party. Un pari réussi ! En effet, il a été difficile de convaincre les clients au début du projet.

Outdoor Sport Court Design Ideas with a Fire 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.
