Our clients brief was to
create a simple uncluttered design. The hideous existing close board
fence was masked with horizontal slats of clear red cedar fixed to
cedar posts. The sunken and upper patios were decked in smooth ipe
hardwood decking with special attention to curving the deck to follow
the curves of the retaining wall and the house.
The
planting was very simple with 3 equal sized and spaced palm trees across the back
and dwarf phormiums between. Down either side of the garden a generous
planting of bamboo provides the screening with the borders finished
off with ornamental black polished stones.
The
choice of zinc cubes provide the perfect host for the limited amount
of potted plants.
Adding
a new lawn and irrigation makes this a perfect low maintenance
retreat for relaxing and entertaining.
