The Brief
This sun-filled space was definitely not making the most of its potential. My mission was to transform the weed-filled lawns around this new home into low-maintenance gardens. The busy clients wanted to retain some lawn but wanted most of the garden areas to be planted in a low–maintenance style whilst making the most of the spectacular views.
The Solution
The gardens around this new house really were in bad shape. By removing all of the vegetation and bringing in new topsoil I could start with a clean canvas. The priority was to make the gardens as low maintenance as possible without covering everything in concrete so I chose mostly hardy natives to withstand the very windy and exposed conditions. Weed mat was installed along with irrigation and pebble mulch.
