Rural or Coastal Landscape Design - Design Brief:
The client wanted a master plan drawn up for the entire five acres of garden so that the garden could be completed in stages. The plants needed to be low maintenance and drought tolerant. Overall they wanted a contemporary country style garden. They needed a garden to work with the architecture of their house and also to compliment the amazing views they have across the valley to the Murringo Gap and the Iluni Mountains.
As the garden is located on a slope, they wanted to have a level area surrounding the house for some lawn and an area for grandchildren to play. They knew that some form of terracing needed to be built in the rear garden however they did not want an over powering high wall to dominant the space. They wanted some type of water feature as a focal point.
