The Brief & Vision

Our clients required a multi-functional outdoor space that balanced entertaining with a safe, stylish environment for family play. The challenge was to blend these different needs within the crisp lines of a modern garden, ensuring every square metre was designed with a purpose.

Our Design Approach

The design focuses on a "zoned" philosophy. We utilised clean, geometric lines to separate the social and active areas without compromising the garden's sense of flow. To soften the boundary fences and provide essential privacy, we selected a series of pleached trees, creating an "elevated hedge" that adds immediate architectural height and greenery.

The Installation

Meticulous attention to detail was applied to the installation of the generous entertaining area, which features large-format porcelain paving for a seamless, interior-inspired finish. For the family zone, we installed a rubber crumb play area—a durable and safe solution that sits elegantly alongside a turfed lawn and thoughtfully planted borders.

The Finished Result

This garden represents a marriage of form and function. By combining premium materials with established horticultural screening, we have created an enduring garden retreat that caters to every member of the family while maintaining a sophisticated and professional finish.
