This project had two required outcomes; develop a bolder garden presence in both the front and back garden, while creating a unique area in the backyard for teenage boys to entertain in. The backyard was a very rocky site which included a bald, exposed rock and multiple levels, but which had an innate native feel - so this was built upon by planting a number of beautiful Australian species, such as Bracelet Honey Myrtle, Kangaroo Paw, Mat Rush, selected succulents, Coastal Rosemary, Japanese Box topiaries, Sweet Viburnum, Bird-of-Paradise, Box and Keteleeri Juniper. To carry the native feel throughout the entire redevelopment, the backyard construction included feature sandstone walling, timber bollards to support lighting and sandstone steps with decomposed granite. To ensure the area fulfilled its entertainment goal, a fire pit was created with timber seating surrounds and a new BBQ enclosure installed, complete with lighting and a gas BBQ for year-round functionality. The exposed rock was turned into a unique feature piece and the garden was punctuated with sculptures, tallowwood posts, sawn sandstone, castlight fittings and terrazzo pots to imbue a modern bent. This feel was carried throughout the front yard where new feature walling, pots and lighting complemented the same plant varieties. The end result is a bold modern garden which boasts year-round entertainment functionality and can be enjoyed by all ages.

Poured in place over-sized concrete pavers reinforced with wire mesh and separated with Mexican beach pebble form the basis of this outdoor patio / outdoor room landscape architecture garden design. Square pavers contrast with the softer circularity of the boundary. A planting scheme with a pom pom topiary is a nod to the retro contemporary style of the property and contrasts nicely with the white wall. A ring of flowering hydrangeas soften the architecture and contain the space. Japanese maple and ornamental grasses provide variety of texture and color whilst the vinca ground-cover and overall texture ensure interest throughout the year.

The sharp geometric lines are broken by the softening curves of the circle and the informal planting throughout the space.

Rainwater is celebrated as the focal point in this backyard garden. The angled deck provides enough space for a morning coffee, then transitions down onto a natural stone patio for large gatherings. A deep plant bed was created against the garage to showcase plant textures and soften the patio space. The curved edge of the patio mimics the irregular shape of the corner rain garden, with a gently sloping lawn in between the two spaces. Natural boulders form the edge of the rain garden, while swaths of rushes and other water-loving plants provide all season interest.

Water feature brings a focal point along with movement and sound. Gravel creates a low maintenance solution to wider areas.

Designed to provide interest 365 days a year. I used these dynamic shrubs to look good throughout the growing season and even in the Chicago winter.
