ABOUT THE PROJECT

An immaculate home needs a backyard to match, and this heritage brickmaker’s property with a classy modern extension demands careful treatment.

An existing hedge in the rear garden had grown out of control and, due to the heritage listing, required a DA for removal. With a considered replanting scheme, we secured council permission for the removal, allowing us to replant with a native hedge that can be managed with a crispness befitting the property.

Our design is respectful to the heritage of the building, making use of existing recycled brick on site as paving softened and defined with a dark metal edge and interspersed with groundcovers.

Black metal planters create visual height interest and focal points, foreground silver and grey foliaged planting against the deep green backdrop of the hedging. The existing decking is retained but brought in line with the new scheme with black metal risers to smarten it up!
