Plantscape Design - Design Brief:
The owner had recently had a patio extension added to the front of their home and wanted to use it and the existing rear entertaining area more. Along with additional structural landscaping, they decided to put an emphasis on the plantscape to create a beautiful surround for these spaces and provided the the following brief:
• The plantings should compliment the home but not overwhelm it.
• Screen or breakup side and rear fences but allow some visibility to the street.
• Provide a lush feel with plants which suited the climate.
• Plantings should add to the street appeal of the home.
• Fast growth / establishment preferable.
• Wanted lots of interest and variation with less reliance on seasonal flowering.
• Reduce existing constant trimming of hedges as they do their own garden maintenance.
The plant design was carefully assembled to ensure there is good contrast in plant height, form and colour and it provides something interesting to see at every turn. The variety of colour in the foliage has become a year round feature.
