Oversized recycled timber pergolas and arbors feature throughout to frame key entries and provide overhead scale and shade. The front entry arbor creates a welcoming arrival to the garden, while the rear garden pergola running across the back of the house, provides a shaded area to sit with climbing ornamental grape vines providing cooling coverage.
Aged tumbled limestone paving and recycled sandstone walls bring a timeless charm to the garden. The custom built concrete bbq bench top, is both a serviceable material, and works in with the colour palette of the project.
Semi formal plantings of Pear Trees, Pencil Pines and Buxus add structure and scale while flowering perennials of Hydrangea, Gardenia and Jasmine create a softer undertone.
