Narrabundah Bricks and Bloom
Bold Hues of Brick and Blooms
Located in Narrabundah, this garden was designed to enhance a newly renovated home by creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. With structured, simplistic plantings and a focus on seasonal interest, the garden offers a range of inviting areas, from a cozy firepit to productive garden beds. The client’s vision of a plant-focused landscape with year-round appeal was brought to life with carefully selected plantings and defined spaces that complement the home’s updated look.
The garden beds feature rich, layered plantings that add depth and contrast to the space. Dark-toned foliage creates a sophisticated backdrop, while strategically placed accents provide seasonal variation and visual intrigue. This approach to planting brings a formal structure that aligns with the home’s renovations, offering an elegant, timeless appeal.
The circular firepit area, bordered by a covered BBQ space, is framed by lush border plantings that spill over onto the concrete bench seating, softening the lines of the hardscape. The combination of concrete and green creates a balanced, grounded feel, inviting relaxation and casual gatherings around the fire. This area is perfect for entertaining, blending functionality with a touch of rustic charm.
At the front of the property, a structured garden design showcases cloud-pruned trees and densely planted beds, lending a formal elegance to the entry. Mediterranean-inspired plantings add texture and movement, complementing the house’s facade and creating a warm welcome. The front garden’s carefully curated plantings bring year-round interest, offering a unique blend of structure and natural beauty.
