This design that was completed back in April 2011 is now entering the construction stage.
Not currently featured in my website portfolio, this is a renovation with the emphasis on water conservation.
Only one street back from the ocean, the front of the property will reflect the ocean with waves of low raised beds rippling down the slope towards the road. The emphasis will be very much on waterwise & coastal tolerant planting.
The front lawn has now been removed and this area will be waterwise plants only (mainly, but not solely, WA natives).
ORIGINAL GARDEN
LAWN REMOVED AND LEVELLED
RAISED BEDS INSTALLED AND NATIVE SOIL ADDED
MULCH ADDED AND PLANTING COMMENCED
Many of the plants required for the front garden are currently not available so will be added at a later date.
The driveways are to be renovated (relaid, in part, and repainted)

Concrete paving on the side of the property has now been removed along with the lean-to awnings allowing in alot more natural light.

The back garden will have the path around the pool widened, with exotics to the already present raised beds.
The back lawn will be relaid over a slightly higher area with more exotics to be planted amongst the current oleanders and frangipanis.
