A typically wide frontage for this suburb, without any lawn, was going to be a challenge. Definition and some areas of ‘rest’ were a must, along with really good planting. Definition came from some really cool black powder coated retaining walls, and the planting has provided much interest (especially in a neighbourhood with predomintly lawns). The custom-designed lighting worked brilliantly, giving the appearance of fireflies at night. This project has proven to be as much of a challenge as it first seemed, with horrible soil and a time-poor client making the upkeep of plants tricky. But that’s the great thing about gardens - they’re never finished!
