A contemporary garden for a family in South London. The planting is naturalistic and wildlife friendly, softening the sharp geometry employed in the hard landscaping. Seen here in summer with the echinacea, echinops and kniphofia in full bloom.

Ajardinamiento de patio en Guadalmina II (Marbella)

Jorge Ferreira

Ajardinamiento del patio delantero de casa adosada próxima a la costa. Se partía del requisito de introducir cítricos y una plumeria, así como de dejar un espacio central diáfano. Puesto que el patio está situado sobre un aparcamiento había que disponer jardineras con suficiente volumen para permitir la plantación de los árboles pero sin sobrepasar el peso capaz de soportar el forjado. Las jardineras se realizaron en ladrillo, en consonancia con la solería de barro preexistente, con volúmenes diversos para dotar de dinamismo a la composición. Finalmente se adosó un banco a las jardineras de la izquierda para ocultar una salida de extracción de humos del garage subterráneo. La selección de plantas se adaptó a las duras condiciones de salinidad del lugar.

Ornate Brick Wall and Herringbone Walkway

THE KING'S MASONS

This formal brick garden wall and herringbone walkway features a custom arched wrought iron gate, bull-nosed molded brick capping and accents, with intricate pierced brickwork. Incredible design and expert masonry skills!

Traditional Garden Entry

Eisler Landscapes

The entry courtyard at this colonial style home uses hardy perennials, evergreens, and traditional materials to compliment the traditional style of the house. Avid gardeners, these clients wanted mixed perennial borders with a lot of color. The brick pavers are set in sand making them permeable.

Reclaimed Brick Patio in Beaconsfield

Quarry View Garden Care

We've just completed this fabulous reclaimed brick patio with herringbone design for a client in Beaconsfield. Our client asked us to provide interest and a feature to this largely shaded area so we worked with the existing planting and landscape features to construct this reclaimed brick patio with dual water features to compliment the formal Italian-esque feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Certainly a labour of love, there's something about working with old bricks that's so satisfying, maybe it's the character with each one being different or using recycled materials, it all seems to work! Just waiting for the finishing touches to the power supply for the water features and then some cobbles to dress.

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.
