A full-property landscape transformation designed around movement, arrival, water, fire and relaxed outdoor living.
This large-scale concept reimagines the property as a series of connected outdoor experiences β from the sweeping driveway arrival and layered front gardens, through to a relocated resort-style pool area, louvred poolside pergola, sunken fire pit retreat, rear entertaining terrace, vineyard entry statement and softer garden pathways that link the spaces together.
The material palette was kept calm, natural and architectural: Tundra Grey paving across the pool, alfresco and fire pit areas; off-white rendered garden walls; grey sandstone feature walls; timber-look cladding in Ash Coastal / dark grey tones; corten steel edging; crushed rock pathways; Charlotte sandstone and granite boulders; black aluminium pool fencing; and soft Dichondra-planted steppers to break up the harder surfaces.
One of the key considerations for this project was the planting. With no irrigation or bore water available, the garden needed to rely on tough, drought-tolerant and resilient species that can handle harsher conditions once established. The planting palette was built around hardy natives, Mediterranean-style plants, textural grasses and low-water groundcovers β including Acacia, Lomandra, Dianella, Westringia, Correa, Eremophila, Casuarina βCousin Itβ, Kangaroo Paw, Agave, Grass Trees, Leucadendron and other robust selections.
The result is a garden that still feels lush and layered, but is designed with long-term practicality in mind.
The relocated pool becomes a generous resort-style destination within the landscape, framed by a long louvred pergola, Tundra Grey paving, soft planting and architectural screening. By contrast, the existing pool area is reworked into a sunken fire pit retreat with U-shaped built-in seating, tiered rendered garden beds and a central linear fire feature β creating a more intimate evening gathering space.
Around the broader property, curved raised garden beds, feature boulders, drought-tolerant planting, crushed rock pathways and informal seating moments create a landscape that feels grounded, practical and connected to the scale of the site.
This design is not just about creating beautiful outdoor spaces. It is about creating a landscape that supports everyday living, entertaining and long-term resilience β a garden that can feel refined and generous without relying on excessive water use.
Excited to share the 3D walkthrough of this project.
