EACH YEAR, DESIGN DEVOTEES AND PLANT
enthusiasts flock to the Melbourne International
Flower & Garden Show. This prestigious event
is the place to go if you want to see the latest
garden design trends and pick up great new
design and planting ideas. The 2012 Melbourne
International Flower & Garden Show covered
the gamut of garden styles, from the crisply
contemporary Nordic-style show garden designed
by landscape architect Marnie Lewis to the
warm and enveloping haven of recycled and
reinvented materials created by Jason Hodges,
known to many from the Better Homes &
Gardens television show. For our coverage of this
years highlights, including all the winning show
gardens, turn to page 50.
In this edition, we also showcase the winners
of the 2011 Landscape Queensland Construction
Excellence Awards and the 2011 Victorian
Landscape Awards (starting on page 211). These
awards cover both residential and commercial
landscapes, recognise excellence in design,
planting and construction, and demonstrate to the
public the high degree of skill and professionalism
todays landscapers can deliver.
Drawing on the expertise of an experienced
landscape designer and contractor is the
best way to ensure your new garden will be
everything you need it to be. A new garden is a
major investment and if you want to maximise
that investment, calling in the professionals is
essential. We take a look at the many benefits of
working with a professional and share some tips
for finding the right person for you (page 46)
For many, making the most of a small outdoor
space (courtyard, balcony, bijou backyard) is the
goal, so we take a close look at the ins and outs
of small-space design (page 34). We also talk
you through the basics of landscaping around a
new swimming pool (page 38) and examine the
how and why of greenwalls and vertical gardens
(page 42). Add to this our regular showcase of
professionally designed and built landscapes
teamed with our product showcase, where you
will find the latest in lighting, furniture and more,
and we hope you will have all the information
and inspiration you need to get started on that
outdoor project youve been planning.
Enjoy!

IF YOU HAVE A SMALL GARDEN, CHANCES ARE
its attached to a small house or apartment, which
means every square metre of outdoor space is
extra precious. Clever design can fit in places to
entertain, plants you love, necessary utilities and
even places to play while creating that essential
outdoor sanctuary.
Think outside the box
To get the most out of a small space, you need
inclusions that do double duty. Choose furniture
such as seat boxes with storage spaces for
gardening bits and pieces and use your pergola or a
wire screen for hanging clothes to dry. If you have
kids, raised garden beds with sturdy timber or paver
edges and well-built, heavy timber furniture (such
as good-quality teak or hardwood) will make places
for them to climb, jump and balance. A decorative
panel can hide a shallow wall cupboard that holds
paint tins, tools and sports equipment.
Most small gardens and courtyards are box-
shaped, with a rectangular floor area, surrounded
by a straight house wall on one or two sides
and garden fences. Balconies tend to have three
surrounding walls and a very open front, possibly
with a view. These rectangular shapes are easy to
build but predictable and, when thats combined

with narrow garden beds around the edges and
a dining setting in the middle, it will look smaller
than it is and be uninviting.
Working the space
While it may seem counter-intuitive, leaving empty,
open areas surrounded by narrow garden beds will
make a small garden feel even smaller, not bigger,
as youll look straight across a void. But if you make
layers of interest in the space, theres a lot to catch
the eye, so it feels bigger. That doesnt mean you
fill every square centimetre with clutter; you make
simple layers of fore, middle and background interest
using plants, furniture and screens. On a balcony with
a lovely view you might feel like you dont want to
obscure any part of it, but framing it with fore or
middle-ground objects will make it look even better.
Diagonals are an easy way to change the
apparent dimensions of your small garden. Lay
square pavers on the diagonal or run decking
boards on an angle and create triangular spaces.
The straight lines will keep the look crisp. Curved
shapes add movement, but in a small space go
for circles or part circles, or an elegant French
curve rather than shapes that are overly freeform.
Combine circles and segments with straight lines to
make keyhole shapes or a capital P.
Levels and sight lines
Many small gardens are dead flat, making it hard
to create an interesting garden. Raised garden beds
from timber, brick, interlocking blocks or powder-
coated metal make an instant step-up, and might
give you better plant-growing areas, too. Instead
of paving, think about a timber deck set off the
ground or look at building a raised plinth for a
focal point such as a fountain, urn or sculpture.
You may even be able to dig in to make a sunken
conversation area or fire pit.
If you can hide a small part of your outdoor space,
youll add a hint of mystery or even much-needed
privacy. Use a moon gate, slatted screen or archway
to separate a tiny area, or something pretty such as
a piece of outdoor art or a wall climber that you can
glimpse through. Even if whats behind the space is
only bin storage, it will look like part of the garden
when viewed from the house.
Painting a picture
Small gardens, courtyards and balconies are viewed
at close quarters from your home, so you need to
design them as a functional space and as if you are
framing a picture. Stand inside and look out from
your most common viewing angle. When you choose
furniture, step back and check things like seat backs
to make sure theyll look good from all angles.
If you can, locate furniture to one side of your
space, rather than in the middle. This is often more
practical for access to rear gates or storage and
stops it dominating a small garden. Eating outside
is lovely, but if you can only fit in one thing, think
about a small outdoor sofa or a pair of comfy chairs
rather than a traditional dining table for four to six.
Keep it simple
Flowing shapes: In a small garden,
simplicity is the key, but simplicity doesnt
mean boring. A simple, flowing landscape
can do wonders to help promote space.
Restrained colours: Keep the plant palette
minimal and keep colours restrained with
an emphasis on foliage and form for year-
round interest.
Less is more: Follow the rule of less is
more. Over-designed, cluttered spaces look
busy and contrived. The secret is to achieve
balance and symmetry in the garden.
One design theme: Stick to a strong
design theme. Follow through using plants
and materials that fit that style. Avoid
creating a mish-mash of ideas.
Get the details right: Pay attention to detail;
choose high-quality materials and make sure
the work is done by a skilled professional.
Use strong shapes: Use clean, simple shapes
for garden beds. Geometric shapes work
well. This allows scope for more decorative,
dynamic elements you can add into the
garden, such as sculpture and water features.
Make clever use of metal screening and plants.

Although its not quite as easy for a sit-down meal,
youll probably use it a lot more every day for
coffee and cocktails, reading, conversations and just
to enjoy being outdoors.
Perfect plant palette
As everything is displayed at close quarters in a
small garden, you need to keep your plants in tip-
top condition and be ruthless about getting rid of
poor performers. If you only have one plant, make
it a small tree or an under-pruned large shrub
to give you some leafy canopy. Keep your plant
selection simple, with no more than five or six
different species. If space is really tight, its better
to have only one deep planting bed (minimum
one metre) so you can have two or three layers of
plants together, rather than more beds that only
fit a single plant row this is where a triangular
shape straddling a corner can work well.
Grouping strap-leafed and tufted plants such as
agapanthus, clivea, day lily, dianella, lomandra, iris,
mondo grass, liriope, society garlic, bromeliads,
aloe or yucca gives some flowering variety yet
their forms blend together. Combine them with a
few repeated rounded shapes of clipped, drought-
hardy shrubs such as box, lilly pilly, westringia,
dwarf abelia, native mint bush or saltbush and
hawthorn cultivars (Rhaphiolepis). And, if you
want an interesting alternative to an area of lawn,
climbers such as ivy or star jasmine can be clipped
as a groundcover, especially its variegated or tri-
coloured forms.
A unified front
Create continuity: Take materials such as
paving, tiles or timber from the inside out
into the garden. This idea works particularly
well if you have a courtyard or patio
immediately off the kitchen or living area.
Interior colours: Visually link the interior
with the outdoors by introducing colour used
in furnishings with foliage or flowers planted
in the garden.
Repeat plantings: Unify the planting in a
small space by repeating groups of plants or
keep to a single colour theme.
External architecture: Take a look at the
external architecture of the house and repeat
some of these basic shapes in the garden.
Focal points: Most small gardens are
viewed from the house, so think about
creating visual focal points viewed from
within the house, such as a very special
plant or an expensive piece of sculpture.

PLANNING A NEW SWIMMING POOL IS PRETTY
exciting. You can already imagine yourself slipping
into the cool water, watching the kids splash about
in the sun or maybe just stretching out on a comfy
daybed alongside the sparkling water. For this
to become reality, you need to find a good pool
company that pays just as much attention to whats
around the pool as the pool itself. Its also a good
investment to involve a landscape designer in the
early planning stages.
New design directions
First, decide how much space you want around the
pool itself, which will be enclosed by the isolation
fence. Cooking and dining within a pool area is a
no-no as its far too easy for adults to be distracted
by those tasks, leaving children without proper
supervision. Being poolside is all about sitting
and watching the kids or relaxing on a daybed
with a good book. If you do a lot of summertime
entertaining (and pool parties are an ideal teenage
event), you might need an area big enough to fit a
large outdoor lounge setting. However, if its mostly
just you and a few kids, keep it small and simple,
as it has to be an off-limits area when youre not
out there, too.
However, the more you can make your poolside
area an attractive destination in its own right, the
more you will go through that latched gate and
use it as an integral part of the garden, not just
when youre actually going swimming. As pools
are essentially a large, open void, you need to give
the space a sense of enclosure. People feel most
comfortable when their sitting area has a back
to it, so make a solid fence or screen, or dense
planting behind you, rather than an open fence. It
doesnt need to be more than 1.2m tall, as youll
be sitting rather than standing next to it.
Next, you need to add surrounding bulk to
balance the open, flat void of the pool itself. Pools
can also be very noisy places (at least for the
neighbours!), so bulk is also good for breaking
up echoing sound. Raised garden beds are ideal
as they add weight and give room for softening
greenery. You can also use bulky furniture or large
decorative pots.
Make fence sense
Pool fencing regulations are strict for a good reason
they do prevent children from drowning. The
main requirements are usually a 1200mm-high
isolation fence with gaps of a maximum 100mm
between vertical members. Your pool builder will
know your states laws as they cant legally fill a
pool until the fence is constructed. Fences that dont
block any view of the pool are the most popular,
such as frameless glass as the least obtrusive (and
most expensive), framed glass, vertical tensioned
steel cable or powder-coated aluminium.
However, the pool fence doesnt have to be the
same all the way around, so if you need privacy
screening or a solid back for your sitting space,
look at incorporating bamboo reed, brush fencing,
lapped timber or aluminium slats. You may also
want a screening section of fencing to hide a pool
blanket roller or the back of the compulsory safety
sign. Anything climbable, such as furniture, pots and
overhanging branches, must be kept clear of the fence.
Floors galore and more
Non-slip is a must, as is choosing a material that
can withstand either chlorine or salt, or both. Low
water absorption (non-porous) materials, which can

Sitting pretty
Apart from looking good, furniture needs to be quick-drying and resistant to pool chemicals if its in a
splash zone. Ideally, you should try sitting on it in a cossie first to make sure its smooth and cool to
touch. Sling and wicker furniture are good choices. As you may be some distance from the house, add
some storage for comfy cushions, throws, sunscreen, hats and pool toys.
Light moves
Underwater lighting is a night-time essential
for swimming, but more sophisticated
surrounding ambient lighting will guarantee
youre out enjoying your pool on warm
summer evenings. Avoid overhead lights that
will be quite dazzling when youre down low
at water level. Lights that wash across paving,
uplighting of nearby plants and silhouette
lighting of dramatic foliage or sculpture are
ideal. Fittings and wiring near pool water need
high resistance to corrosion and water ingress
and heat-shrink wrapping of all cable joins.
be stone, concrete or clay pavers, are less affected
by salt and chemical attack. Although you can seal
pavers for greater protection, choosing a non-porous
material is the safer option.
Pale colours can be too reflective around pools
unless they are also textured, which breaks up the
light. Always test pavers when theyre horizontal
in full summer sun to make sure they wont be too
hot to sit on with bare legs.
Pick pavers to match your budget, but the
quantity of cutting needed (as paving around pools
tends to be irregularly shaped) will make more
price difference than the paver itself, so match the
paver size and layout to walkway widths. Look for
matching coping pavers but again be wary of the
cost of cutting larger ones to fit around corners and
freeform shapes.
You can order pre-made pavers with internal
or external 90-degree corners, but youll need
to choose a paver big enough to cover the
radius of your corner and the depth of the
coping line. If youre paving over concrete, youll
probably need only a paving tile rather than a
full-depth paver.
Dashing pool decks
Decking is definitely back as a pool surround choice
and many modern pool designs integrate both
pavers and timber decking for textural and colour
contrast. Decking needs to drain well and, if its
shaded, also be regularly cleaned with a pressure
cleaner, as dirt build-up can promote slippery fungal
growth. You will need to re-oil timber every three
to four months if its in a saltwater splash zone
to prevent it drying out and splintering. Secret
fastenings prevent problems with popping nails.
Decking is often combined with a coping paver

but note that timbers with high tannin content, such
as merbau, can cause staining on adjacent paving,
compared to lower tannin timbers such as ironbark.
You will need to use high-grade stainless-steel
fastenings around a saltwater pool and if you stain
the timber too dark it will be too hot to walk on.
Composite wood deck suppliers say that, unlike
real timber, their products wont warp, rot, twist
or splinter and are available in a range of realistic
wood-like colours and grain textures. Many are
sold as an eco-alternative to real timber, as they
are made from recycled plastics and waste timber
products. Installed using an invisible clip system,
they have a smaller spanning ability than real
timber but lower maintenance requirements.
As they are relatively new products, ask about
warranty periods.
Time to see green
Many people mistakenly believe that pools and
plants are incompatible, saying leaf and flower drop
create too much mess, but a pool without some
softening greenery is a sterile, barren place. There
are some plants to avoid around pools (see box on
page 38) but many are well-behaved and easy to
maintain. The trick is to have planting beds with
high edges so soil and mulch cannot wash out,
somewhere to sweep leaves (leave at least a 50mm
gap below fences), plants that need less pruning
(dont overplant or go for tight, formal hedges), and
plants with colourful foliage rather than flowers.
Planting beds that are at least one metre deep
will give you a much better, low-maintenance
display. Dont forget to keep woody, climbable
plants away from pool fences plant crushable
perennials instead. Some narrow conifers and
palms might look like they will fit into narrow beds,
but they will develop thick trunks as they age.
As your pool is probably sitting in the sunniest
spot, you may even want to grow quick-pick edibles
there, such as tomatoes and strawberries. However,
as you may not go into the pool area every day,
an automatic watering system will save you many
plant losses.
Covering up
Canopies are multi-purpose, providing overhead enclosure, a shady retreat from the heat as well as
much-needed protection from getting sunburnt. Theyre also hard to resist as a place to go at any time
of year. Shade sails, a temporary gazebo or just a cheap market umbrella are great starts, although make
sure the heat can spill out as otherwise theyll be too hot beneath. Long-term, a permanent structure
such as a thatched cabana or built pavilion is worth the investment as it will quickly become your
favourite place to be at any time of year, greatly increasing your pool enjoyment and use.

VERTICAL GARDENS ARE NO NEW FAD. THEYVE
always existed in nature, with many plants specially
adapted to growing out of the crevices between
rocks or on other plants, both in open sunny spots
or dark and damp ones. Epiphytic plants cling to
tree trunks and branches in subtropical forests, ferns
peep out of tiny spaces next to roaring waterfalls
and even trees can be found slipping their roots
into cracks on exposed sandstone bluffs. Gardeners
have used that knowledge for millennia to grow
plants in many unlikely places both for decoration
and food production.
In cities and towns, vertical gardens play many
more roles than just as places to grow plants
where space is tight. Plants and the moist growing
medium that supports them insulate walls, reducing
both internal heating and cooling costs, as well
as the urban heat-island effect, where heated
masonry increases city temperatures from radiated
heat. They also create a baffle against some of the
constant noise that plagues city living. Plant leaves
trap airborne dust particles, absorb pollutants and
increase local humidity, as well as create habitat for
beneficial insects.
Plethora of options
You can buy kit greenwall systems, build one
yourself or have one installed by a professional.
If youre planning a large vertical garden on a
terrace or balcony, you have to start factoring in
the weight of the growing medium, plants and
water and make sure your floor or wall has that
load-bearing capacity. It also needs to be properly
waterproofed, so you need to plan where excess

Get the look
You dont have to establish a greenwall to have plants growing on the vertical plane in your garden.
There are pocket-style planters you can hang on a wall, such as the Vertical Wall Planter from Patio by
Jamie Durie and the Wally wall planters from Woolly Pocket. Then there are modular planters such as
the stackable Gardenwall from Tait, which allows you to create a wall of planters to dress up a drab
part of the garden or screen one area from the next. The VWall planter system from H2O Designs is
another option. Ideal for small gardens, courtyards and balconies, the modular lightweight VWall can

water will drain. At this point, you will probably
(quite wisely) decide to call in a professional for
a consultation.
Here are some other companies which can create
a vertical garden for you:
Greenwall Company installs vertical gardens
in many situations, from Australias leading
corporate headquarters to private homes,
using a system built from 94 per cent recycled
materials. Using an inorganic growing medium
avoids the sort of volume collapse that occurs in
organic potting mixes. A variable substrate depth
is planted with a range of naturally epiphytic
and lithophytic plants to create a biodiverse
micro-ecosystem. The growing medium is
completely separated from the wall so theres
no possibility of moisture transfer and irrigation
can be automated, although the company
specifically chooses plants that are very tolerant
of impoverished environments and seasonal
drought, so they will get through both human
and mechanical maintenance failures.
Junglefy installs a system of 547336130mm-
deep modules, which each hold a bag of growing
media. Plant roots are inserted into the growing
bag and growth is supported by an automated
recirculating hydroponic system. Walls are
waterproofed and the modules screwed back
against the wall.
Lushe creates vertical gardens using a marine-
ply backboard covered with a waterproof
coating over which is stapled a non-degradable
felt made from recycled PET plastic. Plants are
supported by an automated hydroponic system
that recirculates water from a bottom reservoir.
Typical installation costs are $1500$2000 per
square metre. The Lushe website features both
the companys own and many inspirational
international projects.
Fytogreen installs vertical gardens for both
commercial and residential customers, including
the huge 40m-long wave-shaped greenwall in
Bligh Street, Sydney. Metal mesh cages hold
a panel system filled with a soil-free, water-
holding, resin, foam medium for growing with
a fully automated hydroponic system that
delivers water and essential nutrients across
the top of each panel so theres no overly
dry or wet areas. Plants are pre-grown and
trained for vertical growing for instant effect
after installation.

The benefits
With more of us living in apartments and
townhouses, gardening on walls makes sense.
You can grow edible plants in a wall garden. For
convenience, grow close to the kitchen door.
Wall gardens are a great way to keep
invasive plants such as mint under control.
A greenwall will decrease a buildings
surface temperature, lowering the
temperature inside.
Greenwalls help to filter pollution in cities
and therefore increase our air quality.
You can turn a vertical garden into a design
feature and a focal point in a small space.
Surrounding yourself with green life not
only looks great, it increases your sense
of wellbeing, too.
Vertical gardens are a great idea for small
spaces such as courtyards and balconies.
Greenwall kit systems
Kit systems for small spaces are cost effective
(though you have to add the cost of plants and
potting mix) and easily installed by anyone
who can use a drill and a screwdriver. They are
designed so the potting mix is not held against the
supporting wall, but you may want to think about
water-proofing a house wall with blueboard.
Here are some of the systems currently available
in Australia:
Wallgarden has kits from only $170 (plus
freight) that are quick and easy to install. Ten
600mm-wide troughs made from recycled black
polypropylene have keyhole slots that fit on top
of eight-gauge screws that are screwed into
two vertical treated-timber battens attached to
your wall. The 200mm-deep troughs allow for
quite substantial plants and you can install an
automated dripper system into just the top pot,
as water will drain out from each pot into the
one below. With 10 troughs you can rotate a
variety of plants through your wall garden and
easily detach them for weeding, maintenance
and replanting.
Atlantis Gro-Wall kit has three modules holding
18 plants that snap together and are secured
back against a wall using dynabolts or attached
back-to-back to form a low screen. Plants are
transferred from their pot to the planter bag
supplied, which closes up around the base of
the plant to prevent potting mix falling out when
its repositioned side-on in the Gro-Wall frame.
Conventional drip irrigation on the top trickles
down through all the growbags. Its also easy to
replace plants.
VertiScape green wall modules include planting
sleeves and mounting brackets, with each
module 500mm wide 330mm high 125mm
deep. A kit for six plants costs $229. These
modules can be used to grow edible ornamental
plants and can be integrated into a wall as a
design feature.
The Garsy system, available from Eden Now,
has Cascade vertical garden kits up to 1880mm
high that create stepped planting tiers from a
galvanised-steel framework. Plants dont have
separate compartments, allowing a greater
volume of growing mix per plant. The larger
Cascade can hold up to 75 tubestock plants.
Elmich VGM Green Wall modules clip together
and are lined with a fitted geo-textile bag,
filled with potting mix and planted up through
slits cut in the fabric. Plants are allowed to
establish horizontally first, which also stabilises
the growing mix, then the modules are either
fastened to the wall or inserted into a stainless-
steel, freestanding rack. By installing drip
irrigation at the top and collection tank at the
bottom, you can recycle the overflow water.
Clever planting ideas
Plants that grow naturally in crevices in rocks or on
trees are key to greenwall success. They include
ferns; creepers such as kidney weed and native
violet; bromeliads like Aechmea, Guzmania and
Neoregelia; native grasses; orchids; succulents
like aloe, agave, Echeveria, sedum and Crassula;
plants with water-holding stems and leaves like
pelargonium, begonia, peperomia, baby sunrose
(Aptenia) and Columnea; plants with fleshy, water-
holding roots like mondo grass, dwarf agapanthus,
ribbon plant and philodendron; and annuals and
perennials that often self-seed in paving and walls
like sweet alice, wallflower, primula and red valerian.
Ultimately, being surrounded by plants is soothing
and pleasing. Walls clothed in green, living plants lower
stress levels when compared to being surrounded by
bare walls, as they feel less containing and constricting.

courtyard or balcony wall into a lush oasis.
You can unleash your creativity as this vertical
garden from Living Holmes Design proves.

1. Do your research
The easiest way to get an idea of a companys
work is online. Hop onto a few websites and
see what kind of work each one does; old
English, heavily constructed, highly planted or
contemporary. Alternatively, take a drive around your
neighbourhood and see which gardens catch your
eye. If youre feeling brave, knock on a few doors
or leave a note to ask who worked on the property.
Have a look at landscape magazines (just like this
one), note down the projects you like, who designed
and constructed them, and their contact details.
2. Make a shortlist
Once youve narrowed it down to a shortlist its
time to get on the phone. How did they sound?
Enthusiastic? Experienced? Find out if you can speak
with some of their other clients and, if you havent
already done so, go and see some of their existing
work. Ask if they are busy and when they could
potentially start your project. If youre feeling good,
set up a meeting to get to know them a little better
and nut out some thoughts. The meeting should
help you decide if they suit you, your personality
and your project. Were they too pushy? Good
listener? Punctual? Youre looking for someone to
build a good working relationship with, someone
with give and take and who will be able to gather
and interpret your ideas.
3. Set a budget
One of the first things to talk about with your landscape
professional is a budget a realistic one. Everyone has
a wish list (pool, gazebo, lush garden beds). The right
landscaper will be able to take your budget and wish
list and find the balance this doesnt mean that they
will cut corners and deliver everything you wanted; it
means that they will see what there is to work with
and devise the best solution.
4. The design process
Now that you have your perfect match its time to
get down to business. A designer will work through
the following steps:
Site analysis: This requires taking levels and
measurements of the site, soil analysis and
noting all existing vegetation.
Concept plan: In essence, this is a scaled layout of
the new garden based on discussions and possibly a
brief, and expanded with the designers ideas.
Master landscape plan: This will include all levels,
measurements, materials, specifications and plantings.
Depending on your designer, there will also be a fee
involved here. These vary from designer to designer
(some prefer an hourly rate while others will give
you a lump sum for the plans) and on the size and
complexity of the job. Always discuss fees before your
designer works up the plans so there are no surprises
and potential for disagreements further down the line.
5. The construction
From here, its time for construction. If you already
have a builder in mind, its just a matter of getting
their costs and working out a timeline. If that isnt
the case, a little more research might be involved to
find the right one. Once again, this is an important
relationship to get right. Depending on the intricacies
of your landscape, the construction could be a
lengthy process, throughout which you want to have
someone who is open and communicative. Be sure
to always ask questions and dont be afraid to ask
why or why not. If you are not sure of something,
flag it as soon as possible, as even the most
professional people can miss things.

THE URBANE, PARED-BACK DESIGN OF THIS
contemporary landscape fits hand in glove with
the minimalist architecture of the home and its
distinctly modern interiors.
Designed by Steve Taylor of COS Design, the
clean, crisp landscape features sleek, uncluttered
lines and a restrained modern palette of colours
and materials. The result is a series of open and airy
spaces and a seamless interior-exterior transition.
The homeowner wanted us to soften the look
of the large, imposing home and create a modern
garden that would have impact, be aesthetically
appealing and have a high level of functionality,
explains Steve. The home and pool house clashed
a little architecturally, so the garden had to be
sympathetic to both. Also, a tranquil courtyard was
required as a parents retreat and a new front garden
design that would have masses of street appeal.
The front is a modern interpretation of a formal
style whereas the courtyard and area around
the swimming pool have an edgier design to
complement the modern look of the pool house
and the interior design of the home, adds Steve.
Every element within each outdoor space was
chosen and positioned with great care. The
Sphere sculpture from Lump Sculpture Studio, a
contemporary creation of Corten and stainless steel,
sits where it can be enjoyed from the pool house or
when looking out from inside the home. Equal care
was taken to make optimum use of the space in the
Utterly urbane
Polished, sophisticated and timeless, this
contemporary design is truly one of a kind

parents courtyard from the floating cantilevered
timber bench to the Lump 3D Sahara water wall.
It was imperative that every element be
impeccably balanced and in perfect proportion to the
house. Every structure and feature had to complement
the home, both inside and out, says Steve.
The materials used are of the highest quality and
include custom-sized honed bluestone paving with
drop-down coping and feature bluestone cobbles,
all of which were supplied by Better Exteriors.
Bluestone is an enduring stone with impressive slip-
and scratch-resistance, making it ideal for around
pools and entertaining areas.
The planting scheme features interesting
foliage and plants one normally associates with
Asiatic-style landscapes, adding to the feeling of
tranquillity. There are feature plantings of Japanese
maples (Acer palmatum Senkaki) and ornamental
pears (Pyrus calleryana Capital) and the repeated
use of bamboo. Three different varieties of bamboo,
all supplied by Red Cloud Bamboo, were used.
Slender weavers bamboo was used for architectural
screening, Himalayan weeping bamboo for wispier
screening and black bamboo in pots for height and
to soften the hard edges of the built landscape.
Completing the picture are groundcovers of black
mondo grass and dwarf mondo grass.
To create this stunning landscape, Steve Taylor
of COS Design managed a total of eight different
contractor companies; however, the main construction
credit belongs to the team at SJM Landscaping.

A LUXURY PAVILION, A SWIMMING POOL AND
myriad places to entertain family and friends
this stunning outdoor retreat offers the owners
everything they could have hoped for. And with
a design that ensures a strong indoor-outdoor
connection, the flow from inside the house to the
various outdoor areas is absolutely seamless.
When designer Dean Herald of Rolling Stone
Landscapes was engaged by the homeowners, their
brief was clear. They wanted the landscape to have
an architectural quality and a strong connection
to the home. The design was to be modern
with relaxed undertones and geared towards
entertaining and spending time outdoors. Excellent
use was to be made of all areas, which included
places for poolside entertaining, a pavilion for
cooking and dining, and a tennis court.
The pavilion, with its clean, contemporary lines
DESIGNER LANDSCAPES
referencing the architecture of the home, is the
centrepiece of the outdoor design. It has been
carved into two outdoor living spaces. In one area
there is an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, fridge,
sink and pizza oven. Here, you will also find a large
dining table cooled by a ceiling fan.
The other outdoor living zone is a modern lounge
area with comfortable seating, a fireplace and
a wall-mounted television that is positioned so
it can also be seen from the pool or spa. At the
rear of the pavilion theres a powder room,
which saves family and friends from having to
return to the house.
One of the challenges faced was how to make
the most of the sloping site. Through the strategic
placement of elements, Rolling Stone Landscapes
has brought out the best in the site, creating a
usable space and a design delight. One way the
DESIGNER LANDSCAPES
slope was put to good use was the creation of a
spill-over edge to the pool.
Another challenge was the size of the site. While
having such a large space to work with provides
plenty of opportunities, its important to have a unified
design. In a large garden the various spaces can
become disjointed if not designed correctly but, thanks
to Deans clever use of sound design principles and his
inspired selection of materials and plants, the overall
design reads as one harmonious space.
For the paved areas, Dean chose a matte-finish
porcelain tile (Floor Gress Ecotech tile in Ecolight
colour), a sophisticated-looking yet low-maintenance
tile that contrasts beautifully with the rich planting
palette. Plants include leafless bird of paradise,
Mexican lily, agaves, Japanese sago palm, purple
fountain grass, variegated mondo grass, blue chalk
sticks, yellow star jasmine, ruby leaf alternanthera
and an advanced Canary Island date palm by the
pool to create a resort feel and provide shade.
Dean Heralds innovative approach to outdoor
design has earned him a long list of landscape
design awards. These include the Chelsea Flower
Shows prestigious Gold Medal award as well as
multiple Gold awards garnered at the Melbourne
International Flower and Garden Show. To learn more

Landscapes, follow the company on Facebook.

THERES NOTHING MORE SOOTHING NOR
utterly indulgent than to bathe under the stars.
An outdoor bathing area is a place of relaxation;
somewhere you can enjoy the relaxing sensation of
water and a cooling breeze as you soak away the
stresses and strains of the work-a-day world.
In this delightfully decadent outdoor bathroom,
designed by Dean Herald and built by his team at
Rolling Stone Landscapes, the look and feel are of a
private spa in a luxury resort. Located off the main
bedroom ensuite of the home, this is a space where
you can be at one with nature in complete privacy.
Offering a unique bathing experience, the space
boasts a bathtub of pristine white as its focal point.
In front of the bath, attached to a timber support
beam overhead, is an outdoor shower. The controls
for the bath and shower have been discreetly
integrated into a stone plinth nestled amid the
foliage to one side of the bathtub.
The plants are an integral element of the design
and give the sense of being wrapped in foliage.
Chosen to give a tropical and lush feel, the plants
include Bambusa textilis var. Gracilis (also known as
slender weavers bamboo and an effective screening
plant), Rhapis excelsa (a multi-stemmed dwarf fan
palm), bromeliads, variegated mondo grass and
Ctenanthe setosa Grey Star (a plant with veined
oblong leaves that are silvery-grey on top and deep
purple underneath).
The choice of timber decking rather than tiles
for the flooring adds to the natural charm and
feeling of warmth. This warmth is also reflected
in the timber door located on the side wall, which
provides external access to the garden.
At night, an uplight in the decking illuminates the
underside of the bathtub. This is supplemented by a
trio of hanging outdoor lights that bathe the space
in a subtle glow. The result is an inviting space that
is a pleasure to be in, day or night.

PRIVATE, PEACEFUL AND PROTECTED THIS
front courtyard has become a sacred space for its
owners. Both a haven to which they can retreat
and an entrance garden that makes visitors feel
immediately at home, this Sydney courtyard is a
place of sanctuary.
When landscape designer Olaf von Sperl from
Above The Earth was called in, the existing
courtyard was nothing more than a featureless
expanse of concrete. Thanks to Olafs intuitive
design and the skill of the Above The Earth
construction team, the owners now have the
outdoor refuge they craved.
The brief was to create a garden of tranquillity
a space for healing and relaxing. The owners
wanted to create a garden that would allow you to
forget the days problems and connect with your
inner self, explains Olaf.
While the owners wanted a meditative garden,
it was also important that the space function as
an entrance, making visitors feel welcome and
providing them with a pleasant journey from the
front gate to the front door.
To achieve the right look and feel, Olaf drew on
a variety of Asian influences. The carefully placed,
hand-selected feature rocks reference the traditional
Japanese approach to garden design. These are
complemented by the stone water feature, which
adds a soothing element to the space.
Then theres the Japanese-style granite garden
bench, the select sculptures and the stepping-stone
paths. The path that leads from the front gate, past
the stone garden bench, through a bed of 20mm
river pebbles and on to the front door features

hand-carved stepping stones from Bali. The second
path, which starts in front of the bench and then
winds its way across the garden, features random
steppers of local sandstone.
Dichondra repens was planted between and
around the stepping stones. This versatile ground-
hugging plant adds a softening element and serves
as a lawn alternative. For the shady areas, the
planting scheme is an intriguing mix of species: there
are some plants typically found in Japanese-style
gardens (such as Japanese maples), others often
spied in tropical-style gardens (ponytail palms and
cycads), and yet others (such as the feature grass
trees) that would be at home in a native garden.
The eclectic mix works well as every plant
from the bamboo used for screening to the
groundcover of scented Gardenia radicans was
carefully chosen to create a harmonious whole. To
keep the plants lush and healthy, Above The Earth
installed an automatic drip-irrigation system.
The garden lighting, which includes uplighting to
feature plants, gives the courtyard a near-magical
glow at night, making it a space that is just as
appealing in the evening hours as it is on a warm
sunny day.
In summing up, Olaf says: This is a real garden.
One with plants, water and paving all in
perfect balance.

FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF THE POOLSIDE DECK,
diners can take in the full view of this contemporary
outdoor retreat and marvel at how so much has been
achieved given such a challenging site.
To give the owners the modern, multi-zoned
outdoor entertaining area they desired, the first
thing the design team at Gardenridge needed to do
was consider the contours of the site and come up
with a plan for effectively dealing with the strong
level changes.
The site falls more than three metres from the
brick fence to the back door. To deal with the fall
and create usable spaces, we consulted an engineer
and then built a series of retaining walls and
planter boxes, which we then rendered in warm
grey tones, explains Don Thomson, the principal of
Gardenridge. The retaining walls were constructed
using large blocks that were laid on significant
concrete footings with starter bars. Each block was
core-filled and then finished with an acrylic render.
By doing this, we were able to effectively handle
the level changes and provide a series of separate
zones for entertaining and active play.
In addition to resolving the level changes, the
owners had several more things on their must-
have list: they wanted a low-maintenance garden
featuring drought-tolerant plants, a design that
provided for a heavy entertaining schedule and
lighting to add drama to the garden at night.
The timber deck positioned on the top level of
the garden is a welcoming space protected by a
contemporary shade structure that was supplied
by Eclipse Sun Control and Patios. The roof louvres
can be opened, shut or angled, depending on
the weather. To make alfresco dining an inviting
proposition on chilly nights, two heaters have been
mounted to the ceiling.
On the lower level theres another entertaining
zone, also decked in timber. This leads directly out
from the house and has room for an outdoor dining
setting, a barbecue and additional casual seating.

work with the stone paving to provide a natural
palette. Large pieces of charcoal granite with a
bush-hammered finish have been used for the
paved areas; they are from Better Exteriors. The
pots and furnishings provide accent colours.
The plants were all chosen with great care.
Along the back boundary wall theres a row of non-
clumping bamboo encased within a raised planter.
The bamboo provided an instant screen along
the back fence, giving privacy to those using the
pool, explains Don. Other plants used include New
Zealand flax, agaves in pots and a feature planting
of Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem. All of the plants
have low water requirements.
The Sir Walter Buffalo lawn is similarly hardy and
provides a welcome patch of green where children
can play.

LESS IS DEFINITELY MORE WHEN WORKING WITH
a small space, which is why this contemporary,
Japanese-influenced garden is such a resounding
success. Through the use of a limited palette
of materials and plants and attention to detail
in the construction, this space is as serene as it
is sophisticated.
Working to a design by homeowner Amanda York,
an accomplished interior designer, the Complete
Landscape Solutions team of Tom Stanley and Jake
Coleman has created a space that although small,
abounds with eye-catching elements. From the pond
and the tiled feature wall to the distinctive I beams,
this is a garden that engages the senses.
For Complete Landscape Solutions, the main
challenge was how to construct the various
elements using the minimum amount of space. The
key to this was finding ways to cleverly modify the
perimeter boundaries, turning them into features in
their own right.
Along one wall there is a striking fence screen
built using bevel-edged spotted gum battens fixed to
steel support posts. This is a fine example of space-
maximising design and quality construction, as is the
tiled feature wall built at the rear of the garden.
Less is more

Another challenge was the significant drop in
ground level. To resolve this, Complete Landscape
Solutions installed a retaining wall rendered with a
medium-textured finish in a colour to complement
the exterior of the house. Inspiration was also
drawn from the architecture of the house when
constructing the I beams and choosing the sawn
bluestone, which was used for the paved area and
the stepper in the pond.
The plants reinforce the understated elegance
of the design and include Magnolia Elizabeth, Acer
palmatum Dissectum Seiryu and Acer palmatum
Beni Kagami ( Japanese maples), Buxus microphylla
(Korean box), Juniperus taxifolia var. lutchuensis
(creeping juniper) and Pinus strobus Merrimack.
To keep the plants lush and healthy, theres an
irrigation system powered by a single solenoid.
Now all the design-savvy homeowner has to do
is open the bi-fold doors and she has an inviting
indoor-outdoor entertaining area that can be used
day or night.

The good life
Flowing one into the next, these outdoor
rooms provide for a luxurious lifestyle
AVID ENTERTAINERS, THE OWNERS OF THIS PERTH
property felt their existing outdoor areas offered
limited use and had a poor sense of connection.
To remedy the situation, they turned to designer
Denise Staffa of Outside In.
They wanted spaces to cook, entertain and
relax, and they wanted an area for larger groups of
guests, explains Denise. Having everything they
needed outside to do this, including drinks at easy
reach, was essential.
Some of the elements were already in place a
pizza oven lost in a far corner of the garden and a
spa that was removed from the main entertaining
hub so it was Denises job to integrate the old
with the new in an exciting and cohesive way.
Raised brick rendered planter boxes were
introduced to give height and dimension to the
spaces as well as serve as a back rest for the built-
in seating. The creation of the planter boxes also
allowed for the introduction of a water feature,
which is a focal point of the new design.
The built-in outdoor seating, some of which
contains underneath storage space, and the curved
seat in the spill-out area of the garden are key
elements of the design. I love the way the timber
slats in the built-in seating came together with
larger gaps and a black backdrop, says Denise.
Denise also loves the outdoor lounge area with
its custom-made drinks bar. This is a space you
never want to leave, she says. The cooking area
is something special, too, with its custom-made,
marine-grade stainless-steel outdoor kitchen boasting
a premium-quality barbecue and the newly revamped

pizza oven. Granite benchtops add the finishing touch
and make for a durable outdoor surface.
The spa area has been similarly transformed. The
spa was already in place but felt disconnected from
the rest of the garden. Also, it didnt seem to have
any space around it to sit and relax, explains Denise.
The new feature wall, with its slot windows, makes
the spa area look amazing. We also replaced the
paving with merbau decking and, in the process,
provided more room for spa-side relaxation.
Achieving a sense of connection between the
house and the garden was just as important. The
new design is modern in keeping with the home,
says Denise. They had rich Morocco-style colours
inside the home and I wanted to extend this warm,
relaxed feeling outside.
The render colours that I introduced work
beautifully to break up the light-coloured brick of
the home and add some depth; rendering the
alfresco piers gave the impression the gardens
were designed and built as part of the home.

Dream come true
A formal swimming pool and outdoor
entertaining area most only dream about
DESIGNER LANDSCAPES
A PLACE TO ENTERTAIN FRIENDS IN THE OPEN
air and a swimming pool for the family this is
the Australian dream. However, if you dont have
a massive rear garden, achieving this can seem
like a challenge.
The homeowners wanted a swimming pool
built, but had no idea how or if it could be
done. In particular, they had major concerns about
whether there was enough room for a pool, an
entertaining area and a car-parking space, says
Shawn Townsend of Ashtown Landscapes.
In the experienced hands of designer Shawn
Townsend and the skilled construction team from
Ashtown Landscapes, this dream was made a reality.
Reflecting the traditional architectural features
of the Victorian-style house, Shawn chose a formal
design for the pool and the landscape. The pool,
which is bordered by a low-growing evergreen
hedge in keeping with the formal style, incorporates
a water feature. Three classical-style brass water
spouts send water streaming into the pool to create
a subtle focal point.
Above the trio of water spouts sits a feature
wall into which Ashtown Landscapes has cleverly
integrated an outdoor mirror. This creates a sense
of added depth and increases the sense of space.
To further open the garden, Ashtown Landscapes
installed frameless glass fencing around the pool.
For Shawn, one of the standout features is the
iron bark pergola that his team built to one side of
the pool. The elegant simplicity of its design belies
the construction challenges faced by Ashtown
Landscapes. The 300mm 300mm beams were so
heavy they had to be craned in.
The 500mm 1000mm sawn bluestone pavers
enhance the timeless quality of the formal design
and work in harmony with the custom-made-
and-painted architectural lattice work. To show
the garden to best advantage at night and
make evening entertaining a pleasure Ashtown
Landscapes installed a full outdoor lighting system,
comprising Megabay uplights, Hunza Ordexus wall
lights and Hunza pillar lights.
The planting completes the picture. For screening
there is Ficus hillii. These healthy specimens
were shipped down to Melbourne from Far North
Queensland, explains Shawn. Murraya has been used
for underplanting while for hedging we used both
English box and Syzygium australe. For their flowers,
we planted Gardenia florida and Camellia sasanqua.
All plants are watered, as needed, via a
fully automated irrigation system run from an
underground 20,000-litre tank.
Ashtown Landscapes is a full-service company
with an in-house design and drafting team as
well as an experienced construction team. In this
instance, Ashtown Landscapes designed and fully
installed all aspects of the project (excluding the
pool shell). Specialising in landscape and pool
design, company owner Shawn Townsend is also
a registered builder (DBL-37709). This means that
Ashtown Landscapes can meet a clients every need.

THIS IS A FRONT GARDEN THAT MAKES A
spectacular first impression. Not only is it the
owners main outdoor living area, it has a
wonderfully beachy feel that is perfectly at
home given the propertys location in the Sydney
beachside suburb of Coogee.
The goal was to create a usable outdoor space,
something that would function as an extension of
the house, could be enjoyed by the whole family
and was easy to maintain, explains designer Troy
Paschini from The Labyrinth Garden. But the design-
savvy owner also wanted the space to have instant
impact and he wanted to have input into the
final design.
I worked very closely with my client, Ian
Wingrove, says Troy. Ian also comes from a design
background, so it was very important to him that
the design not only looked great but was very
usable. His input into the design was valuable.
To give the garden immediate impact and project
a very welcoming feel, Troy introduced different
surfaces, levels and textures. The concept was
inspired by coastal boardwalks and old beach
houses hence the use of recycled timber for
the decking yet we wanted a level of formality,
says Troy. This was achieved by the use of the
sandstone planter boxes and marble pavers.
When Ian was on holidays in Noosa he came
across an interesting, well-detailed fence and he
wanted to use a similar design in his garden,
continues Troy. To replicate this we built the fence
using common house bricks that we clad with
white sandstone flagging. We then used Australian
blackbutt timber in selected sizes to create the
feature section of horizontal slats.
Troy is particularly proud of the detail in the

timber fencing and stone work as well as the deck
built using milled-down old hardwood railway
sleepers and the large day bed that wraps around
the existing mature jacaranda. Australian blackbutt
was used to create the day bed, which cleverly
includes a trap door that leads to a storage space
where Ian can keep his surfboards.
When designing the garden, a major
consideration was the lack of sunlight, which
caused the existing lawn to die off and the large fig
and jacaranda to constantly shed leaves. This led
to the decision to remove the lawn and install hard
surfaces instead a mix of imported marble pavers
and timber decking. The low-light conditions also
informed the choice of new plants, which include
cordylines, agaves and star jasmine.
The use of timber furniture adds to the warmth
of the space and, to add character and an element
of fun, climbing ropes hang from the jacaranda and
a little seating platform has been erected in the fork
of the trunk.

A WISTERIA-ENTWINED TIMBER PERGOLA
provides the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy
the many visual treats this garden provides. From the
eye-catching potted plants to the tranquil pond with its
sculptural centrepiece, theres much to savour.
The owners of this property in the southern
Queensland city of Toowoomba were planning a
major home renovation and wanted a new garden
to suit. To achieve this, they turned to landscape
architect Jonathan Weinert of JW Concepts.
Jonathan, who describes the design as
gardenesque, has successfully married traditional
and modern design elements to create a plant-filled
landscape that perfectly complements the recently
renovated house.
The clients are avid gardeners and preferred
to have a landscape that included a diverse range
of both native and exotic plants, he says. Native
species such as Dianella caerulea and Syzygium
Cascade have been used extensively throughout
the design. Exotic species include Wisteria sinensis,
which was trained over the beams of the pergola
to provide summer shade.
A selection of exotic specimen trees including
Japanese maples, liquidambars and Magnolia
Little Gems provide a contrast to the evergreen
backdrop provided by the borrowed landscape of
the Toowoomba ranges, Jonathan adds.
The owners wanted spaces where their children
could play, hence the inclusion of a lawn area and a
large family swimming pool at the main entry. The
pool, with its simple, modern lines, is enveloped in
a fence of frameless glass that allows uninterrupted
views to and from the main entertainment space.
The structured entry garden includes a sunken
reflection pond and an uplit metal sculpture as focal
points. Ornamental exotic trees frame the simple
water feature and the nearby timber pergola.
SomerStone limestone cladding adds some rustic
charm to the pergola and is complemented by
the ashlar-patterned SomerStone reconstituted
limestone paving around the pool.
The design makes good use of feature pots
throughout; some provide relief in paved areas and
others give a sense of height where needed. We
also included a kitchen garden between the garage
and the entry to the homes kitchen for the family
to grow herbs and vegies, adds Jonathan.
From the entry garden to the driveway beyond
the garden gates, JW Concepts design has ensured a
seamless connection between the outdoor spaces and
the home. Just as importantly, the design complements
the traditional architectural style of the residence and
will stand the test of time.

YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THIS
inviting garden is in the French countryside rather
than the suburbs of Brisbane. Designed by landscape
architect Jonathan Weinert of JW Concepts, the
family-friendly garden draws on French provincial
design elements to create a warm and inviting
ambience all in a subtropical climate and setting.
The landscape reads as a continuous story
with each outdoor room flowing into the next
and each outdoor space maintaining a strong
relationship to the house, says Jonathan. Theres
also a high degree of visual connectivity between
spaces through the use of repeated elements, such
as selected recycled timbers and aged features
including sculptures and birdbaths.
The upper terrace unfolds through a low feature
wall and broad sandstone steps that connect upper
and lower areas, he adds. Large feature sandstone
plinths anchor the tapered SomerStone pots planted
with orange trees and provide an entry to the
upper vegetable garden and compost area.
Although the garden is perfect for entertaining, the
owners have three children, so the design needed
to accommodate the needs of a growing family.
Jonathans design is ideal for adults and children alike,
encouraging family members to freely roam around
the garden enjoying its many delights.
The swimming pool and spa, which are
connected via a tiled spillway, provide ample
entertaining opportunities for family and friends
while the pergola-covered outdoor dining area is
a space where everyone can gather and enjoy a
relaxed meal and the rustic French charm. This
space connects to the homes main living areas and
kitchen and overlooks the pool, so is ideally placed
to supervise youngsters as they swim.
The recycled timber trellis frames and the
timber pergola emphasise the aged theme of the
garden while the rock walls of granite and the
sandstone steps and plinths give the garden a
robust, well-established look as if they had always
been there, says Jonathan.
The plants are a mix of exotic species (such as
Magnolia sp.) and native species (such as Westringea
sp.) selected to reinforce the relaxed, French-inspired
look of the garden and create a sense of refuge
while providing an elegant outlook from inside the
home. The use of natives reinforces the local sense
of place within the subtropical Brisbane context and
the plants include hedges of Syzygium Cascade,
Stenocarpus sinuatus (firewheel tree) and rambling
Phyla canescens (Condamine couch) amongst the
robust sandstone steps that provide access to the
rear yard, Jonathan adds.

BY DRAWING ON THE BORROWED LANDSCAPE,
this Queensland property has an enviable sense of
connection with the wider environment. This not only
gives it a true sense of place, it makes the already
large outdoor areas seem even more spacious.
The brief given to JW Concepts and its founder,
landscape architect Jonathan Weinert, was to create a
family-focused home and garden environment with
active, open play spaces oriented to take advantage
of the propertys northeast aspect and views over the
Toowoomba Range and the farmland-rich Lockyer Valley.
The entry garden has a modern, formal feel with
a twist of tropical styling and a dash of Asian charm.
The planting is a mix of clipped hedging and tropical-
looking feature plants and theres a cascading water
feature on either side of the stairs. Also flanking the
entrance to the home is a pair of seated Buddha
statues, adding to the overall sense of tranquillity.
The grey tones of the natural stone paving work
in harmony with the timber steps, the river pebbles
in the water features channels and the lush, healthy
plant life to welcome visitors and set the scene for the
garden at the rear of the property.
To the rear is a large, contemporary swimming
pool, its paved surrounds providing ample space for
poolside relaxation. Within a few steps of the pool is a
large pool house overlooking the main lawn area and
the tennis court.
The expansive outdoor decks are another standout
feature and add even more opportunities for the
family to entertain or relax outside. The flow between
the decks and the spaces connecting them was kept
free and open to help draw the eye out over the
extensive borrowed landscape.
Throughout, garden areas are defined by
strategically placed, well-maintained plants rather
than hard structures. This helps to create an easy
flow and a feeling of space as well as a more natural
connection to the openness of the landscape setting
that the garden is placed in. The first stage of the
landscape was completed in 2002; the second stage
in 2005. This has given the plants ample time to

WHEN JOHN STORCH, PRINCIPAL OF A TOTAL
Concept, a Sydney-based company specialising in
landscape architecture and swimming pool design,
first inspected this site, he saw the potential
to create something very special. What he was
presented with was a blank canvas an empty
rear garden that, although sloping and elongated,
had potential to be developed into a contemporary
tropical resort. In effect, a villa courtyard garden
and pool.
To get the rear garden to a consistent level,
approximately one metre of fill was installed at one
end and half a metre of excavation was required at
the opposite end. The long space was transversely
truncated to create a series of well-proportioned
areas to incorporate a swimming pool and poolside
entertaining area, a barbecue and kitchenette area
with an associated daybed and outdoor eating
space, and a lawn area surrounded by gardens
dripping with colourful tropical exotics.
Johns selection of colour for the Italian glass
mosaic waterline tiles and the Quartzon interior
ensures the pools colour is soft and does not
visually dominate the space. Hence, the overall
garden is seen as the feature rather than any
one element.
Travertine paving and rendered masonry
have been utilised on all paved and walling
surfaces, including the walls of the house, to
ensure complete integration. The pool has a large
conversation pit, swimout areas and a spa for
entertaining that, together with the two large
cascading waterfalls, add fun for the familys small
children and their friends.
The gardens designed by A Total Concept have
been planted using numerous mature tropical
plant species, some of which include Budda Belly
bamboo, bromeliads, stripe-stem bamboo, cycads,
frangipani, Cordyline rubra, Philodendron Xanadu,
liriope, lilly pilly, ginger and kentia palms. The

beautifully integrates the pool and alfresco areas
with the lawn, gardens and home to create a total

THESE ENGAGING OUTDOOR SPACES,
a confident fusion of formal and French provincial
design elements, are the perfect complement
to the splendid home. From the elegance of the
beautifully structured front garden to the opulence
of the captivating rear garden, this is a landscape
design that speaks of sophistication.
Designed by Melbourne-based Franklin
Landscape and Design and built by the firms highly
skilled construction team, this modern masterpiece
is a testament to what an experienced design
professional can bring to the table.
The brief for this project was to design and build
front and rear gardens that matched the architecture
of the house, made optimum use of the available
space and met the homeowners lifestyle needs.
As the house is as impressive as it is large,
garden spaces of equal grandeur were needed. To
introduce height to balance the garden with the
house, trees were planted in both the front garden
and rear gardens.
In the front garden, Manchurian pears were
used as an attractive hedge to complement the
house and topiary lily pillies were used on either
side of the entrance path to create a French
provincial feel. To screen out the neighbours and
draw the eye upwards, Ficus hillii (weeping fig) was
planted along the back fence line and also down
the side of the house, explains David Franklin.
In terms of the design, the owners wanted
a formal style of garden with the emphasis on
more garden and less paving, he adds. They also
needed a lawn area for the kids to play on.
In the rear garden, the covered patio looks out
over an expanse of lush green lawn. Traversing
the lawn is a stepping-stone path that leads to the
focal point of the design, a classical-style water
feature comprised of a wall-mounted fountain
sending water into a semi-circular pond below. The
water feature is flanked by planters brimming with
geraniums. Another pair of planters can be found at
the steps leading to the patio. These are urn-style
pots planted with cycads.
For the paved areas we used Gosford quarry
sandstone. Large slabs of the richly coloured
sandstone were used throughout this job, from
the paved area around the rear water feature to
the path leading down the side of the house, and
everything was designed to fit a particular template,
so had to be cut on site, says David.
As with the best formal-style gardens, Davids
approach to the palette of plants, materials and
colours was to keep it limited, and his use of
decorative elements and focal points is precise
and well considered. Attention to detail in both the
design and construction is evident, which extends
to the lighting that turns the garden spaces into
stunning nightscapes.
A formal affair
Of enduring elegance, these formal-style
gardens will stand the test of time

Design harmony
Of sympathetic design, this garden is a
perfect fit with the newly renovated home
DESIGNER LANDSCAPES
HAVING FULLY RENOVATED THEIR DOUBLE-
fronted weatherboard Victorian house in
Melbournes Surrey Hills a renovation project that
included an addition to the back of the house the
owners called on AEP Pools and Landscapes to
design and build a new garden.
The garden needed to seamlessly blend two
distinct architectural styles, explains garden
designer Andrew Power of AEP Pools and
Landscapes. The renovated front of the house
was in period style, so the front garden had to
complement this as well as frame the view of the
home from the street. The modern addition to
the rear of the house needed a garden of more
contemporary style and one that would provide
additional entertaining space as well as a discreet
area where the sports-mad family could play.
Andrews design for the rear garden used a
muted palette of plants in a geometric manner.
His goal was to complement the house, not just by
using harmonising colours but by providing views
from within the house as well as functional outdoor
spaces. In particular, he made excellent use of the
line of sight from the front door, which extends
along the entire length of the hallway and out
across the swimming pool to the water feature.

When choosing the materials and colours for
the rear garden, Andrew took his cues from the
new addition to the house. To complement the
zinc architectural cladding, for example, he chose
grey timber decking and screen boards. These work
in harmony with the Anston pavers and steppers
and the pebble mesh as well as the garden beds
around the pool, which were constructed of double-
skinned brick and then rendered in Dulux Monkey.
Longevity and ease of maintenance were also
key factors when choosing materials. The expanse
of grass is actually synthetic turf, which provides a
durable surface for sports and looks green all year
round theres no need to mow, weed or water it.
Equal care was taken choosing the plants. We
used Pyrus calleryana Capital to frame the water
feature as this will provide a generous foliage screen
of six to eight metres. Syzygium australe was used
as a hedge along the north boundary and a line of
Lomandra Tanika borders the synthetic grass, helping
to make it look more natural, explains Andrew.
To cover the fence alongside the pool, we
planted Trachelospermum jasminoides while
Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum provides colour,
lightness and movement against the zinc cladding
of the dining room.
Water for irrigation is provided by a 10,000-litre
in-ground tank hidden beneath the front garden
while various services are hidden behind the water
feature and screen in the rear garden, displaying
the care and attention that went into the design
and construction of this impressive landscape.

flourish of coral-fuchsia blooms in summer) to the
drought-tolerant olive trees.
At the rear, the paving is of bluestone tiles. In the
front garden, it is a combination of WA limestone
and exposed aggregate, all of which complement
the house and the rendered retaining walls.
Next to the fully tiled concrete pool, timber has
been used for the sundeck. This complements the
bluestone tiling and harmonises with the timber
cladding in the nearby shade structure. The result
is an expertly integrated landscape that caters for
the owners every lifestyle need and is the perfect
complement to the contemporary home.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE IS THE MANTRA OF SMALL-SPACE
design. By opting for a modern, pared-back design
that complements the clean architectural lines of the
house, this front garden is now an oasis of calm.
When the owners of this newly built,
contemporary residence engaged the services
of Melbourne designer Noni Young from Noni
Young Garden Design, their brief was to create a
welcoming, low-maintenance garden one that
included a front fence to afford privacy from the
relatively busy street, provided a sense of journey
from front gate to front door, and incorporated
subtle Asian-style design elements.
The front gate is offset from the front door, which
allows for a path of random Kanmantoo slate to
sweep through the garden, creating the required
sense of journey, while the custom-built front fence
provides privacy yet doesnt make the garden feel
enclosed. Both fence and gate are built of cedar to
match the timber cladding on the house.
Despite the relatively small space, the owners
were eager to include a number of trees in the
design. Upright ornamental pears (Pyrus calleryana
Capital) are planted along the driveway and a
Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) is planted in the
main garden on the high side of the path. A coral-
barked Japanese maple provides colour interest in

winter and contrasts well against the high-gloss,
black front door.
Other plants in the design include Sacred Bamboo
(Nandina domestica) planted along the fence lines
to soften and enclose the space; small evergreen
shrubs including Sweet Box (Sarcococca ruscifolia),
Mexican Orange Blossom (Choisya ternata), Pieris
japonica to fill out the garden and provide form
and texture; Acacia Limelight and a low-growing
Westringia create mounds of green; and Ajuga
reptans Catlins Giant as a groundcover. The path
is bordered with white liriope and gardenias and
the ornamental pears bordering the driveway are
underplanted with mini white agapanthus.
There was a significant fall across the garden
from east to west, so a small rendered retaining
wall was built on the west side and the garden was
built up to one level, making it easier to traverse
and maintain. The owners now have the inviting,
easy-care garden they wanted. A garden that is
peaceful, welcoming and provides a tranquil outlook
when viewed from inside the home.

THIS INVITING MODERN OUTDOOR ROOM AND
surrounding landscaped spaces were designed by
Sydney-based ecodesign to complement one of
Metricons new flagship display properties. The brief
given to ecodesign was to present a fresh new take
on the outdoor room concept. In the process, it was
essential the exterior spaces read as a continuous
expression of the homes interior finishes and reflect
the design, materials and colours of the architecture.
The design is clearly contemporary in keeping
with the modern faade of the home. The enclosed
outdoor room, with its inbuilt seating, outdoor
fireplace and ceiling fans, provides a comfortable
and stylish entertaining area that can be used any
time of year.
The warm tones of the 130mm-wide hardwood
timber decking boards combined with the ambience
created by the halogen downlights make this a
welcoming space well into the evening hours. And
the transition from inside the home to the outdoor
room is made easy and seamless thanks to double
bi-fold doors.
The garden layout sought to provide a modern
interpretation of the traditional suburban garden.
Plants were selected for their bold, deep greens
and coppery bronze foliage, with red an underlying
colour theme introduced through the use of plants
such as Japanese maple, Austromyrtus Aurora,
Leucadendron Red Devil and Grevillea Scarlet
Sprite. Other plantings include aspidistra, sedge,
buxus, Dietes robinsoniana, yuccas, Viburnum
Emerald Lustre, Gardenia Florida, Aussie Southern
lilly pilly, Chinese elm, coast banksia and variegated
mondo grass, all of which have been used to
equally stunning effect.
Another important element of the design was
to create an outdoor space that was accessible
yet private. To discreetly block views into and out
of the neighbouring property, feature screening
of randomly sized bamboo poles was installed.
This was supplemented by hedging plants and a
section of fence clad in Natureed. A focal point of
the design is the eye-catching wall-mounted water
feature that also acts as screening.

When designing a garden for a display home,
the goal is to ensure the house and landscape are
seamlessly integrated, showing potential buyers
just how impressive their new home could look.
This means maximising the views of the garden
from the homes windows and external doors as
well as creating comfortable, easy-to-use, lifestyle-
enhancing outdoor living spaces. This design by the
team from ecodesign ticks all the boxes.
If you would like to see this beautifully designed

OF CONTEMPORARY FORMAL STYLE, THIS
garden is a delight for the senses. From the
colourful water feature to the terracotta pots
brimming with lush foliage, this is a garden that
offers a visual treat at every turn.
Designed by Natalie Watts of Branat Designs,
this garden is the perfect blend of old and new.
The owners wanted the existing trees and shrubs
incorporated into the new design, which Natalie
has expertly done. These now sit in harmony with
the new planting which, in the backyard, includes
Viburnum Emerald Lustre, Camellia sasanqua
Paradise Rebecca, Murrayas for screening and two
climbing roses a red and a pink Pierre de Ronsard
growing on a trellis against the fence.
Also in the rear garden you will find garden beds
brimming with brilliant pink Iceberg bush roses,
border plantings of catmint and a Pyrus calleryana
and a crab apple for height. In the front garden the
border planting is of Japanese box with Gardenia
augusta Magnifica and standard Brilliant Pink
Iceberg roses for a floral display. For height,
there are Indian Summer crepe myrtles.
The water feature, constructed by Branat Designs,
is the focal point of the rear garden. Boasting
handmade ceramic tiles from Indonesia, the water
feature was positioned so it could be viewed from the
homes interior family room as well as from the patio.
The patio is paved in Abode Latte pavers that
sit in contrast to the decorative Cowra Gold gravel
surrounding the adjacent stepping stones as well
as the stepping stones that lead alongside the
house. For the retaining walls in both the front
and back gardens, Natalie specified Tasman link-
block walling.
The main challenge was dealing with the clay
soil. To achieve such abundant plant growth, the
soil had to be properly prepared (which involved
digging in gypsum, manure and mulch to break
down the clay) before planting out. The plants are
now so healthy and well established that they only
need to be watered on very hot days. In fact, the
whole garden is easy to maintain, which is precisely
what the owners, who frequently travel, wanted.

DRAWING ON THE BORROWED LANDSCAPE OF
the surrounding bushland, this remarkable garden
provides the owners with countless vantage points
from which to enjoy the views and relax or
entertain in complete comfort. Of modern Australian
design, this is a landscape built to be enjoyed.
When Craig McDonald and the Asset Landscapes
construction team were called in, they were faced
with a large property with steep, grassy slopes.
Their job was to create a series of outdoor rooms
and a critical part of that was installing retaining
walls to create level, usable areas for entertaining
and childrens play.
The landscape was carved into two main areas.
This involved the construction of impressive
retaining walls, garden beds and a wide staircase
serving as the transition point between them.
Core-filled Besser block walls were built to
an engineers specifications and then faced
using Kilcare random-dimensioned stone. Rock-
faced sandstone was used for the capping. To
complement the natural sandstone, hardwood
merbau timber boards were used for the decking,
which includes a section suspended over a large
exposed rock shelf. The same hardwood was used
for the slat screens and the curved feature seat that
wraps around an outdoor fire pit.
The sandstone walling also links the lower level
of the pool area with the rest of the garden. This
level of the garden features the use of another
natural hard landscaping element: wide-board
hardwood timber decking. An extremely tranquil
space, the lower level features an elevated timber
walkway that takes you right into the heart of the
bushland that wraps around the property.
Classicstone Ashmont pavers were installed
in and around the swimming pool while dark
granite was used for the main set of steps leading
to the rear of the garden. In smaller areas of
the garden, decomposed granite was used instead

of hard paving to add a softening effect.
As this is such a vast property, planting was kept
to a minimum. Asset Landscapes installed a small
selection of exotic plants around the house and
pool, and a number of native species, including
feature plantings of grass trees and tuckeroo,
around the outer perimeter where the garden
blends with the bush.
Water for irrigation is supplied by four 5000-litre
tanks. These were buried under the ground next to
the pool and are operated by a C-Bus system.
Using best-quality materials and ensuring
excellent workmanship were only part of the
success equation. Asset Landscapes worked in close
co-operation with both the owners and the design
company, Space Landscape Designs, to achieve a
result that exceeded expectations.

WITH STUNNING VIEWS OF BOTH THE SEA AND
the city lights of Adelaide from their property,
the owners decided it was high time they take
advantage of them. To do this, they enlisted the
help of designer David Nolan from DN Landscaping
and the DN Landscaping construction team.
Thanks to the design and construction skills of
DN Landscaping, the front garden now has distinct
street appeal. While the planting is lush and
colourful, each plant was chosen for its water-wise
qualities as well as the statement it could make.
The combination planting includes succulents,
yuccas, cycads, dianellas and crepe myrtle with
an underplanting of lavender. At night, the front
yard takes on a romantic ambience, with lights
highlighting vibrant plants and foliage.
As their home was surrounded by houses, some
of them quite tall, the owners wanted some extra
privacy provided by plants, so cottonwood hibiscus
and Manchurian pear were planted for shade and
screening at the side and rear of the property. The
garden also has the popular Magnolia Little Gem
that shades the gardenias that grow beneath it.
Also on the owners must-have list was the
inclusion of edible plants, so theres a grove of 10
fruit trees planted in the lower rock garden along
with a raised vegetable patch. Here, the owners
can harvest their own lemons, limes, oranges,

plums, avocados, apricots and bananas, which have
been underplanted with roses so the owners will

The rock garden is a unique feature that has
been dotted with colour. Lights guide the way down
the cleverly integrated stairway at night, which
leads to the pool area. From here, the owners can
take in the views or go for a dip in the new pool.
Navigating between each garden area is easy
thanks to pathways and steps that have been
created to blend into the landscape. Rocks were
used as steps in the rock garden and, due to being
high-traffic areas, the front yard and driveways are
paved with concrete.

THIS ELEGANT LAP POOL FLOWS FROM THE
homes entertaining deck to the far end of the
garden where a Buddha statue sits serenely.
Nestled into a garden bed of lush, leafy plants, the
statue is uplit at night, turning it, and the pool, into
a focal point the owners can enjoy well into the
evening hours.
Credit for the pools design goes to Chris Nicholls
of Queensland Family Pools who also headed up
the Queensland Family Pools construction team.
The brief from the owners was for a pool that
would complement and extend their existing
outdoor entertaining area. It needed to fit in with
the tranquil, tropics-inspired ambience of the garden
and be big enough for both swimming and play yet
not so big that it dominated the space.
An infinity edge was also on the owners must-
have list. As space was at a premium, Chris came
up with a clever idea: a false wet-edge that gives
the illusion of water gently running over the side of
the pool.

For the pool coping, Chris used 400mm
400mm granite tiles. This works beautifully with
the timber decking and adds another texture and
colour to the rich palette of natural materials that
abound throughout the rear garden.
The main challenge was the location, a tight
block in an inner-Brisbane suburb. By drawing
on many years of construction experience,
Queensland Family Pools was able to build a pool
that is a perfect fit both with the design of the
house and the lifestyle needs of the owners.

THANKS TO THE CONSTRUCTION EXPERTISE AND
attention to detail of the pool builder, Brisbane-
based Rothwell Pools, this architect-designed lap
pool blends seamlessly with the sleek lines and
modern architecture of the recently extended home.
The homeowner specifically wanted a pool to
train in as he is a professional athlete, explains
Chris Rothwell. So while it was important that
the pool blend with the homes new extension
and be aesthetically pleasing, it also had to be
swimmer friendly.
The 20m-long lap-style pool boasts simple,
clean lines and was engineered and built not only
for swimming but also to literally tie in with the
house, as it supports the entire weight of the end
of the first and second floors.
Of impressive size, one end of the pool runs
underneath the top level of the new extension,
ensuring a true sense of connection. For a
contemporary yet dateless look, square-edge
granite was used for the coping and paving,
and red cedar for the screening. To ensure an
uninterrupted view of the pool, frameless glass
fencing was installed by Aqua Vista.
Access was an issue during this build, says Chris.
The existing house was raised and we gained
limited access under the house. We also had to
pay particular attention to the engineering due to
the fact that the pool shell acts as a supporting
structure for the new extension. And with the pool
positioned adjacent to the new kitchen and living
room, waterproofing was essential.
Rothwell Pools installed a Magnapool mineral-
based filtration system rather than a traditional
saltwater chlorination system. As the owners
training requires him being in the water on a daily
basis for long periods of time, it was essential the
water be of the very best quality and, with the
Magnapool system, we achieved just that. It also
provides a preferable swimming environment for
his young family, explains Chris. Whats more, the
backwash water from a Magnapool, once diluted,
can be used to water the plants and grass around
the pool, saving water.
Rothwell Pools is a family-owned, award-winning
company that understands the importance of
customer service and delivering a product with a
high standard of workmanship. The commitment of
the Rothwell Pools team to customer satisfaction,
combined with the professional advice of its

This is what Nick and Anna, the owners of this
pool had to say: The design of our house centred
around the lap pool, so it was crucially important to
us that the pool looked fantastic. When we started
the process we hoped that the end result would be
a 10-out-of-10, and it is. The pool has exceeded all
our expectations and is forming a significant part of
our lifestyle. Throughout the project, Rothwell Pools
cared about delivering a pool that they and we
could be proud of. A very big thank you!

EXPERTLY DESIGNED TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE
available space, this stunning new swimming pool
has given the owners the outdoor lifestyle they
always wanted, not to mention a pleasing outlook
from the home.
When the owners approached Majestic Pools &
Landscapes to design and build their dream pool,
they wanted something that would make them feel
like they were on holidays every time they went for
a dip or sat in the comfort of the covered outdoor
entertaining area. Impressing guests was also
important, as was creating a space that was kid-
friendly.
Majestic Pools & Landscapes came up with
a formal contemporary design that is both
sophisticated and functional. In an inspired move,
the feature wall that forms the backdrop to the
pool was clad in reflective glass mosaic tiles.
The shimmering wall, which incorporates a sheer
descent water feature and a planter, shimmers day
and night and can be enjoyed whether swimming
in the pool, relaxing in the outdoor entertaining
area or looking out from the living areas at the rear
of the home.
Breaking up the clean lines of the design and
adding a few well-considered accents of green is a
trio of yuccas in the raised planter and a perimeter
planting of bamboo. These plants are uplit for
added effect.
To complement the warm, natural tones of the
oversized hardwood decking, Himalayan quartz was
used for the pool coping. To ensure uninterrupted
views and a feeling of spaciousness, the pool is
wrapped in frameless glass fencing.
As you can see from the project featured here,
Majestic Pools & Landscapes can tailor and build
a design to suit your individual needs. While the
company specialises in the design and construction of
concrete swimming pools, building hundreds of pools
each year, the Majestic design team is renowned for
its diversity, so can tackle any project no matter
how big, how unusual or how challenging.

TO BRING PERSONALITY AND ELEGANCE TO
your outdoor area, use Kellock Tradings extensive
collection of pots, urns, screens, and decorative
pieces in lightweight cement, ceramic and cast
iron. Offering a wide range of practical pieces,
Kellock can add stylish touches to your outdoor
setting, regardless of your gardens style or location.
Boasting an emphasis on larger architectural
pieces to suit the discerning homeowner, Kellock
Tradings diverse selection of garden dcor suits its
customers every need.
An exciting new addition to Kellocks extensive
range is the selection of competitively priced wall-
mounted and freestanding screens in Corten and
mild steel. The visually impressive screens are
proudly made in Australia and add that important
touch of panache to your outdoor setting.
Kellock has also re-introduced a beautiful range
of classic urns in cast iron in addition to simple steel
stands and growing frames.
Featuring a broad selection of colourful glazed
garden pots such as those from the Burmese and
Atomic ranges, Kellock Trading also has an eclectic
selection of natural and treated finishes, allowing
the design-conscious homeowner to create a fully
co-ordinated look.
Kellock Trading has the perfect piece for every
outdoor style, from yesteryear to contemporary. The
French-style urns, Thai limestone and Atlantis ranges
are particular standouts for a more traditional approach,
while the Metro Light range, Pret-a-Pot and S Series
add a vibrant dash of modern style to any space.
Catering to the growing demand for large,
lightweight pots, the Metro Light range of paintable
fibreclay pots is proving to be very popular with
homeowners, designers and landscapers. The
pots are made from lightweight fibreclay, so the
company is able to achieve a size that would not
be possible with ceramic or concrete products.
Fibreclay is also highly durable and largely
impervious to moisture, enabling the application of
metallic paint finishes such as rust and verdigris for
that aged and industrial look.
Operating at the quality end of the market,
Kellock Trading offers a broad range of outdoor
dcor and, unlike most other pottery suppliers,
creates designs in consultation with clients.

THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING OUR
lifestyle seem to grow with each passing
year. In fact, according to Nicholas Agnew,
managing director of Agnews Fireplaces, the
home improvement scene has never been more
interesting or exciting.
Decorating styles these days are less structured;
people are more relaxed about mixing and
matching styles, old and new, says Nicholas. Room
sizes tend to be a bit smaller and theres a strong
emphasis on achieving value and functionality from
all spaces.
The clever blending of outdoor spaces with
internal living areas to create alfresco zones is an
excellent example of new thinking in home design.
Seamlessly linking indoor and outdoor casual
living zones expands lifestyle options and
entertainment capacity, says Nicholas, who also
points out that incorporating a fireplace into the
landscaping mix is quickly gaining favour with many
home improvers.
A stylish fireplace setting contributes a unique
quality to the dcor and ambience of a space,
explains Nicholas. Agnews Fireplaces has been at
the forefront of our industry for nearly four decades,
keeping pace with technological developments,
fashion and lifestyle trends.
The movement towards alfresco living areas
is just another interesting twist in the road for us
at Agnews, adds Nicholas. We are a decorating

EASY TO INSTALL AND EXTREMELY VERSATILE,
the new Eyeleds range offers a high-quality, eco-
friendly lighting option for both exterior and interior
applications. The new PowerEYE HP 180-degree-
beam outdoor twin fitting is a powerful, decorative
and ambient outdoor lighting solution. The side-
lit walkover LED fitting is ideal for installation
in gardens, decking, pavers or tiles even
concrete driveways.
The fitting measures 70mm in diameter and is
recessed 60mm deep into a 50mm hole cut into
your chosen installation material. You dont need
to be an expert to achieve a professional-looking
result, though. Nor are you limited in the range of
materials that these high-grade aluminium fittings
can be used with. Eyeleds can be integrated into
tile, natural stone, laminate, hardwood, carpet,
wood panelling and concrete.
Eyeleds PowerEYE HP 180 outdoor twin fitting
operates on 12VDC, consumes as little as 2.6W per
light point and has an extremely long lifespan of
up to 50,000 hours. It is also a mercury-free option,
which makes it the ideal green lighting solution for
homeowners, landscapers, designers, architects and
builders who are looking for a long-lasting, energy-
efficient way to light an exterior or interior space.
For many, however, easy installation is the main
attraction. The fittings can be safely installed by
do-it-yourself enthusiasts or you can leave it to your
building or landscaping professional. All you need
an electrician to do is install the power supply to
drive the lights.
The new big brother to the outdoor range is the
Outdoor Extreme. These 0.6W in-ground fittings can
be installed into areas subjected to heavy loads
such as shopping centres, public pathways and
larger commercial landscape projects.
With its stainless-steel malefemale connection
cables, it is truly a plug-and-play system. The
lights also have an IP67 fully potted UV-stable
polycarbonate body, cool-to-the-touch construction
and the ability to run on a power input of 12V.

range and details of your nearest supplier, call or

With the summer sun both a friend and an enemy, its important to provide shade and shelter in
your outdoor areas, and a thatch pavilion or gazebo is a cool way to do just that. Not only is
a thatch pavilion an attractive addition to any garden and pool area, the natural thatching is a
proven insulator - so you and your family are safe from the sun in a cool and breezy shelter.
Oz Thatch Roofs & Gazebos will design and install or supply in kit form, so you can take
advantage of their experience and expertise with this attractive and practical natural product.
A well designed thatched shade structure or gazebo will complement both contemporary and
more traditional style homes, and natural thatch looks great with an attractive, decorative internal
appearance. The properties of thatch roong, and its insulating properties provide a space 5-10
degrees cooler than other roong materials.

Cabana
chic
A fully equipped poolside
cabana makes outdoor
entertaining a breeze
WITH AN EXISTING POOL AREA IN NEED OF
rejuvenation and a poolside cabana to be built
and fully fitted out, the owners of this Queensland
property turned to Beau Homes & Swimming Pools
to create their ultimate outdoor entertaining area.
Under the guiding hand of company owner Matt
Harriden, Beau Homes & Swimming Pools was
contracted to handle the entire project from concept
and design to completion. This included plans from
Stuart Osman Building Designs (SOBD), engineering,
construction, interior fit-out, and the selection of
finishes and paint colours.
As owners of a business that occupies most of
their time, the clients handed full control to us, only
asking to be included at the most important stages.
Their brief was simple; they wanted wow factor
and something non-standard, says Matt.
The cabana, which includes a bathroom, is
equipped with everything the owners need to
entertain. There is a well-stocked three-door fridge,
a pool table, televisions for watching sports, a dart
board, a projector with a huge pull-down screen
for watching movies, Wii or the Xbox, and a Sonos
wireless hi-fi system so whatever room youre in
you can play your favourite song as quietly or as
loudly as you like, says Matt.
The materials are all hard-wearing, from the
polished concrete of the cabana floor to the timber
cladding used on the internal walls. The internal
feature wall is something special and an ingenious
example of recycling. It was made using off-cuts
from the ground-level timber decking and the
upper-level flooring along with short lengths in a
mix of different Australian hardwoods.
In fact, timber has been used extensively
for its warm natural appeal. This includes the
plywood ceiling, the timber-decked barbecue area
just outside of the cabana doors as well as the
polished timber stairs and the raised platform on
the opposite side of the garden. The timber has
been complemented by the granite cladding on the
external walls and on the column beside the bar.
The timber-framed cabana itself is of traditional
construction, although there was some smart
engineering involved with the steel portals, adds
Matt. It has Colorbond and weatherboard cladding
on the exterior as well as a Colorbond roof.
With a view to making the cabana as eco-
friendly as possible, we installed a solar hot
OUTDOOR STRUCTURES
water unit, the power for the cabana comes from
the solar electrical grid on the main house and
rainwater, supplied from a tank, is used for flushing
the toilet as well as topping up the swimming
pool, he adds.
To complement the contemporary style of the
new cabana, Beau Homes & Swimming Pools
renovated the pool and its surrounds, giving them
a brand new lease on life, and upgraded the pool
filtration system. Part of the makeover included
replacing the dated paving and pool coping with
a natural Dune antique limestone 20mm tile. The
pool was also fitted with a solar hot water system,
extending its use into the cooler months. Now the
owners have a stylish outdoor entertaining area
that takes them from day into the evening hours.

WE ALL LEAD BUSY LIVES AND FINDING TIME
to take a vacation is not always easy. Thats why
more Australian homeowners are turning their own
gardens into resort-style spaces. The goal? To capture
the ambience of their favourite vacation spot and
enjoy the holiday-at-home experience all year round.
Austin Developments specialises in helping
homeowners create stunning outdoor living spaces.
Established by Austin Pearce in 2000, the company
enjoyed excellent word-of-mouth praise from
the start, expanding in 2005 to accommodate
its ever-growing customer base. The company
custom-designs and builds outdoor structures and
backyard entertainment areas, constructing up to
five gazebos or roofed structures each week. In
doing so, Austin Developments strives to create a
beautifully designed, holiday-at-home-style living
space incorporating function, style and comfort.
Austin Developments can build the full array of
outdoor structures, from a freestanding cabana or
timber deck to more complex pavilions or pergola-
style structures. The company can also undertake
makeovers, stylishly revamping an old patio.
When building an outdoor structure, Austin
Developments can offer an extensive range of
roof coverings, including imported thatching,
timber hardwood shingles, cedar shingles and
contemporary coverings such as Colorbond, all of
which can be teamed with internal bamboo or
timber lining for an enhanced finish.
The company also specialises in the construction
of timber decking and screening. Many poolside
and garden structures feature a raised or floating-
style deck, while timber screening is often used
around gazebos and cabanas to provide privacy and
a sense of enclosure, making an outdoor living area
feel cosy and inviting.
The project showcased here features a cedar
shingle roof with round coconut poles and Batu
timber decking and screening. It provides a tranquil
spot for year-round relaxation and entertaining
and is the perfect complement to the existing
swimming pool and residence. It also gives the
space an exotic look and acts as a focal point,
drawing the homeowners and visitors out from the
house and into the rear garden.
Austin Developments prides itself on taking a
collaborative approach to each project. By drawing
on the clients original vision and the companys
vast experience, professionalism and skill base,
Austin Developments is able to deliver a beautiful
result that exceeds the clients expectations.

WHEN LANDSCAPING A GARDEN OR AROUND
a pool, good design is only part of the success
equation. You need premium-quality paving and
walling products that offer strength, durability and
aesthetic appeal.
Customstone SA, a company based in South
Australia, produces a high-quality range of
contemporary concrete paving, coping and walling
products that tick all the right boxes. They are hard-
wearing; of consistent size, thickness and finish; and
they come in an array of colours and finishes.
The pavers have slip-resistant surfaces for safety
in the garden or around pools, spas and water
features. If you live in a coastal area or have a
saltwater pool, you can take comfort in knowing
that the pavers are salt-resistant too.
For design flexibility, Customstone SAs large-format
pavers are available in five sizes (400mm 400mm,
450mm 450mm, 500mm 500mm, 600mm
300mm and 600mm 600mm). These can be
teamed with the driveway pavers (300mm 300mm
and 400mm 400mm), coping (400mm 400mm,
500mm 500mm, 500mm 350mm with corners
to match) and the mortared walling (500mm
250mm 200mm). Straight pool coping (800mm
400mm) and some radius coping are also available.
By using Customstone SAs large-format pavers,
you can make a small outdoor space be it
an entertaining area, courtyard or pool surround
appear larger. This is because of the reduced
number of join lines, which ensures an uncluttered
look. Replacing sections of lawn with easy-care
paving can also help reduce your water use
and the amount of time you need to spend on
garden maintenance.
Whether youre planning a contemporary or
classic outdoor project, there are several colours
and finishes to choose between, so you can be
assured of finding something of a complementary
tone and texture. For paving and coping, various
custom and honed finishes (where the aggregate
shows through) are available. While the exposed
aggregate finishes are particularly popular at the
moment, the smoother finishes are still in demand.
The contemporary outdoor project shown here
features White Sands Distinctive coloured pavers
and coping.
To ensure a fully co-ordinated look throughout
your outdoor areas, from the paving to the steps to
the garden walls, most Customstone SA products
are available in a complete range of colours and
finishes. You can also rest assured that the stock
you receive is new and in pristine condition as all
products are made to order.

SANDSTONE IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
choices for landscaping and home building and
for very good reason. Its a stone that complements
any style of garden or home design and one that
comes in a wide choice of colours. Wanting a crisp,
clean look for their stunning new seaside property
in Sydney, the owners felt Cinajus Mint White honed

extensively throughout the landscape, from the
front path, stairs, entry, balconies and patios to
the coping around the swimming pool.

with landscape designers and architects, who
prize its neutral tones and subtle colour variation.
It is also very popular with the landscape

THE INITIAL BRIEF FROM THE CLIENT WAS VERY
specific: I need something I can use inside and out.
It must be a natural stone, durable, hard-wearing,
non-slip, salt- and chlorine-safe, and wont look out
of place on a large rural property. This meant it was
clear from the outset that the stone selected had to
be refined enough to be used indoors while tough
enough to be used externally around the saltwater
swimming pool.
The final stone chosen, which exceeded the
clients expectations, was Cinajus Midland Blue
limestone. More than 1300 square metres was
used throughout this exquisite country estate;
this included coping and paving, paths,
entertaining areas, the kitchen, living spaces,
bedrooms and bathrooms.
The owners chose a sawn stone with an acid-
washed finish. This enhances the limestones natural
colour variation and beauty while giving it
a non-slip surface, which is precisely what you need
in pool areas, on paths and in living areas, both
exterior and interior.

IF YOU WANT AN UPMARKET ALTERNATIVE TO
traditional bricks, or an elegant stone for your next
landscaping project, Wistow bluestone is the natural
choice. This richly coloured, ageless Australian stone
is the perfect choice for any outdoor application,
whether its retaining walls, patios, swimming pool
surrounds, driveways, steps or paving.
A superior natural stone product, genuine Wistow
bluestone is only available from Wistow Bluestone
Quarries, located in Wistow, an outer suburb of
Adelaide. Admired Australia-wide for its unique
beauty and great strength, Wistow bluestone has
been used in countless building and landscaping
projects, both residential and commercial.
Boasting a beautiful blend of colours greys, blues,
golds and silvers Wistow bluestone complements
many different styles of home or garden. Take Wistow
crazy paving as an example. This is a popular choice
for use in rustic, bushland or cottage-style gardens.
It looks especially good when used around freeform
pools and for garden paths to give that relaxed,
country-style charm so many people favour.
In fact, Wistow bluestone is a great choice for
use around any style of pool as its not affected by
saltwater or salt chlorination, needs no sealing, is
relatively non-slip and will not fret or flake.
Wistows bookleaf walling is another popular
product, ideal for landscaping or use in house
construction. Bookleaf walling is just as suited to
contemporary designs as it is to projects of a more
traditional style and each piece is hand-graded to
ensure quality.
Random walling stone, with its rough-faced
texture and highly sought-after rustic appearance,
can also be used in many landscaping and building
applications including retaining and feature walls,
garden edging, steps, columns and house exteriors.

Australia and every stone product is hand-graded
and carefully packed on pallets for delivery. This

WITH THE RIGHT TREATMENT, ITS EASY TO KEEP
even the most porous natural stone and paving, as
well as tile and brick, looking great for many years.
Not only will these products maintain their beauty,
theyll be easier to clean, too.
Staining is the most common problem affecting
porous materials such as stone paving and steps,
but there are other common types of damage.
Water can be harmless, but if stone or paving
are wet for long enough, mould and bacteria can
take hold and the material can be softened and
weakened. Water also contains minerals (salts) that
can leave unsightly residues or stains and even
cause major corrosion of pavers and tiles.
Australia is a land of innovation and its
no surprise that the worlds most advanced
impregnating sealers for protecting porous surfaces
come from Dry-Treat, a small Australian company.
Dry-Treats invisible impregnating sealers
provide many advantages over traditional topical
(coating) sealers and other impregnating sealers.
Our technology comes down to two basic things,
says Dry-Treats Global Marketing Manager, Gabriel
Chapman. Our impregnating sealers penetrate
much deeper and our special water- and oil-
repelling molecules actually bond permanently
inside the treated material so you get a very deep
and long-lasting barrier of protection.
Dry-Treats flagship STAIN-PROOF sealer not
only protects natural stone, paving and tiles against
stains to keep them looking good, it also maintains
the slip resistance of the surface, retards moss and
mildew growth and makes the surface easier to
clean. A 15-year performance warranty is available
when STAIN-PROOF is applied by an accredited
applicator, although the simple application
instructions have made it very popular for DIY
use as well.
Dry-Treats reputation has spread over 30
countries, largely by word of mouth, because our
sealers really do work, says Gabriel. Today, STAIN-
PROOF protects thousands of homes and many
well-known public icons including the Melbourne
Cricket Ground, the new BBC Scotland headquarters,
the Dallas Cowboys stadium, city malls, famous
hotels and monuments. So we are very comfortable
backing our products with extraordinary warranties.

Rock steady
As a functional part of your outdoor space
or to create a focal point, architectural
rock gabion walls are an asset
ALTHOUGH GABIONS HAVE BEEN AROUND
for thousands of years, its only recently that
architectural gabions, made from welded mesh,
have been used extensively for aesthetic purposes
in landscaping.
A well-constructed gabion wall can provide
sound-proofing, privacy and beauty, and it can be
designed in a number of ways. The wall might
be low with plants trailing over the top, or it
might be built with curves or sharp angles.
The type of rock used will depend on the
purpose of the wall. If used for retaining (for
which an engineers report will be required),
the rock needs to be dense enough to support
anticipated loads. Typically rock such as basalt is
used for this due to its hardness. Lighter, less
dense rock (such as river rock and sandstone)
can be used for low decorative walls.
By choosing certain types of rock and arranging
them artistically, you can achieve various effects
and moods. Some light-coloured rock can have an
almost desert-like appearance, while a darker rock
such as basalt (bluestone) will have a more moody
look, especially during wet weather.
The gabion mesh used for architectural
applications is usually coated in Galfan, which
is 95 per cent zinc and five per cent aluminium.
For more demanding applications and salty
environments, a robust coating of 90 per cent zinc
and 10 per cent aluminium can be supplied, or if
budget allows, the mesh can be manufactured in
stainless steel.
Permathene specialises in welded gabion mesh
and supplies panels of various sizes. These can be
flat panels or partially assembled kit sets using
either C rings or the spiral method. C rings can
give a cleaner look but require specialised tools to
assemble and placement must be every 150mm.
Permathene provides C rings in Galfan and
stainless steel, as well as the tools. Spirals,
on the other hand, make the job quick and easy.
Spirals are 1m-long shaped wire which is simply
threaded through the panel apertures, available
in Galfan and stainless steel.
Vital components of the welded mesh gabion
are the stiffener wires, which are pre-formed wires
placed at every corner of the basket. These wires
prevent the basket from warping caused by rock
filling. Construction of a typical 2m 1m 1m
cage can be completed by one person in about
15 minutes, excluding rock placement.

WHITTLESEA SAWMILL SPECIALISES IN
everything decking. From sub-floors, stumps,
bearers, joists, decks, handrails and balustrades to
pergolas or roofs, the company supplies all types
of decking products.
Its signature product, however, is called
WonderWood. With a nod to the environment,
this product is a wood-plastic composite material.
Its comprised of 50 per cent wood fibre, 45 per
cent recycled plastic and the remaining five per cent
is mould- and UV-inhibitor and pigment additives.
These protective elements stop the material from
becoming brittle and allow it to retain 80 per cent
of its colour. It never needs to be oiled or painted,
so its ready for use straight after installation.
The decking is easy to install thanks to a clip-in
system, so there are no nails to worry about
now or in the future and its splinter-free this

is particularly important if it will be used where
bare feet, children or pets will walk on it.
Because it doesnt need to be oiled, painted or
checked for splinters and nails, WonderWood is
a low-maintenance product, which means you can
spend more time enjoying your new outdoor deck
rather than looking after it.
Theres a wide range of applications for
WonderWood aside from decking. It can also
be used for railings, fences, landscaping timbers,
cladding and outdoor furniture. This versatile
material can be planed, sanded, moulded and cut
just like timber, so youre really only limited by
your imagination. And theres a range of styles and
colours to choose from, too, so youre sure to find
the right look for your outdoor area.
Whittlesea Sawmill has a free measure-and-
quote service for your deck. The company can
supply all the materials for your new deck for you
to install yourself or they can arrange a complete

WE ALL LIKE THE LOOK OF TIMBER, BUT FEW OF
us want the constant maintenance that goes with
keeping it looking as-new. For those who want a
timber-look deck, fence or screen that is a breeze
to maintain and has all the appeal of natural timber,
Knotwood produces a range of timber look-a-like
aluminium systems that can be used in place of
timber in virtually any application.
Knotwoods aluminium systems come in a wide
range of styles and eight timber-look colours. You
can choose between horizontal or vertical styles
or if decking is what youre after, there are two
options: waterproof and conventional decking. This
means that the look you create is completely up
to you. In addition, Knotwood systems are fast to
install, saving you on installation costs and, best of
all, once a Knotwood deck or fence is in place, you
dont have to sand and finish it.
Knotwood ranges include aluminium privacy
screens, fencing, decking, louvres and shutters.
To make the task of matching your new screen or
shutters to your home, Knotwood has designed
its systems so they will complement any existing
colour scheme. Knotwood products are available in
any powder-coated colour including all Colorbond
colours so you can be assured of creating a uniform,
well-co-ordinated look.
Of course, aesthetics is just one reason these
products are so popular. Their durability and
functionality are equally prized qualities. As theres
no timber used in the creation of Knotwood, the
products wont fade, oxidise, rot, warp, split or crack
nor will they ever need repainting or varnishing.
From the day of installation, Knotwoods appearance
remains unchanged, making it a very low-
maintenance alternative and you have the peace
of mind that comes with knowing Knotwood is fully
Australian made and backed by a 10-year warranty.
There are eight distinctive Knotwood timber-look
colours, so you can find just what youre looking
for, no matter what the design plan for your new
deck and screening. And because Knotwoods slats
are available in various sizes, the systems can be
customised to make both horizontal and vertical
fences and screens, giving you all the versatility you
need to create a look that is distinctly your own.

Timber-look aluminium systems combine
good looks with low maintenance

ODL025_pg194-195_Quartzon.indd 194 4/05/2012 11:36:02 AM
WHETHER BUILDING A NEW POOL OR
renovating an existing one, consider a Quartzon
pool interior for stunning, long-lasting colour and a
smooth, durable finish. Quartzon will turn your pool
into a shimmering haven with its vibrant colours
and dazzling reflective qualities.
Whether its light crisp blues, beach lagoon tones,
darker blues or aqua greens, pool owners have a
total of nine striking colours to choose from. Inferior
products use dyes to colour their mix but Quartzons
distinctive colours come from fade-resistant,
ceramic-coated stone particles. Dyes simply fade
away, but with Quartzon you can be assured of
vivid colour for years to come.
Smooth to the touch yet firm underfoot, Quartzon
is made from a high-density mix that not only
contains coloured ceramic-coated stone particles
but also quartz and fine sands, leaving a consistent
finish with no distracting grout lines. This advanced
mix creates one of the strongest, most hygienic
renders available today.
With tile surfaces youre left with difficult grout lines
to clean while cheaper, less dense pebble finishes
create unseen surface pockets where dirt and grime
can build up. Quartzons finish, however, is seamless,
so algae and grime can easily be removed, making
the job of cleaning your pool a breeze.
Quartzon also uses a special, highly reflective
additive called Starfleck to enhance the colour of
the finish and give your pool a continuous sparkle.
In fact, Starfleck is so reflective that it even captures
moonlight. Starfleck is found exclusively in Quartzon
and, like the stunning colours, it will sparkle long
into the future.
Quartzon was developed and launched in
Australia more than 15 years ago and was the
first quartz-based render on the market. Today,
the company is recognised as a leader in the field.
Its factory-mixed product is packaged under strict
quality-control guidelines and not mixed on site like
so many inferior pebble renders are. These quality-
assurance measures guarantee you receive the best
possible product.
Your Quartzon dealer can help you select the
most complementary colour for your pool and its
surroundings one that reflects the design of your
pool and garden as well as suiting your budget. To
receive a copy of the Quartzon Ideas brochure or for
further information and product advice, either visit
the website or give the friendly team a call.

Your pool is a major lifestyle investment,
so it deserves a superior finish

THERES NOTHING MORE INVITING THAN A LUSH
green lawn, especially on a hot summers day
when you long for something cool and soft beneath
your feet. But maintaining a lawn can be a time-
consuming, thankless task if you havent planted
the right variety to begin with. Village Green is a
soft-to-the-touch, versatile, new turf variety that will
maintain its deep green colour all year round.
Suitable for use in full sun or part shade, Village
Green is a robust turf that thrives in most soil types.
Boasting an efficient root system, Village Green
uses less fertiliser and is better able to tolerate dry
spells than other grasses, making it the ideal choice
in areas where drought-tolerant turf is a must.
A proven performer in most climatic conditions,
Village Green provides dense coverage, which
means greater weed resistance. Basically, the
denser the coverage, the less opportunity weeds
have to intrude. Consequently, you wont need to
use chemical sprays to keep weeds at bay.
Providing an ideal play surface for families with
young children and pets, Village Green is soft to the
touch, but that doesnt mean it isnt tough. Village
Green recovers quickly from the rough-and-tumble
of family life and is the perfect solution for those
parts of the garden that will receive regular wear
and tear. It is even being used extensively in public
parks and sports ovals where councils demand a
good-looking yet tough grass.
As a winter active turf, Village Green can be
planted in the colder, wetter months. This saves you
water as you dont have to irrigate as often while
the grass becomes established. So if you want to
enjoy a lush green lawn or verge without worrying
about water usage, Village Green turf is for you.
To find your nearest supplier, visit the Village
Green website.

Expect to attract
some attention.
When your backyard looks like
a village green, its no wonder
people take notice.
Village Green is a turf like no other.
Named after the typical English
village green, but selected in
Australia for Australian conditions,
it keeps its colour long after the
rain has stopped.
Village Green needs far less water
and nutrients than other lawn
varieties, thanks to its massive root
system, and being seedless, it wont
invade your garden beds.
Village Green has a tight, dense
cover that enables it to recover
quickly from wear and tear and
still maintain its wonderful deep
green colour.
Best of all, Village Green is winter
active, so you can plant it in late
autumn and save water, making
it the perfect turfgrass in these
water-wise times.
People will notice the grass is
most de6n|te|y greener on your
side of the fence.

THE CURRENT TREND IS FOR LANDSCAPE
designers to provide less hardscape in their
backyard designs, which may inadvertently
provide health benefits to clients. Outdoor family
activities that involve exercise have long-reaching
effects on health and the development of physical
co-ordination and social interaction.
Hardscaped backyards, with their pebbles, paving
and lack of soft-fall lawn area, do not invite children to
go outdoors to play and can be a catalyst to developing
an indoor electronic entertainment mindset among our
young, says Bruce Stephens of Anco Turf.
The recent easing of water restrictions in many
parts of Australia has seen a surge in the number
of lawns being installed and renovated back to
their pre-drought condition, adds Bruce. The bonus
in this round of lawn revival is our turf producers,
through necessity, have developed drought-tolerant
lawns that, once established, will not require
watering to survive. As a consequence, landscape
designers are incorporating larger areas of lawn into
their low-maintenance garden designs, which is
good news for our children.
The humble lawn provides a perfect soft-fall area
for children to play on as well as the perfect surface
to develop sporting skills. Added to this are the well-
documented environmental benefits of lawns such as
their cooling effect, glare reduction, run-off inhibition,
dust suppression and ability to trap pollutants.
Melbournes largest turf farm, Anco Turf, again
exhibited at this years Melbourne International
Flower and Garden Show. There was an increased
interest in lawns, particularly among new
homeowners. If that trend continues, our childrens
health, and that of our backyard environment, is
moving in the right direction, says Bruce.
Ancos Instant Lawn turf range, along with a range
of fertilisers and specific turf maintenance products,
is available through its outlets in the Victorian towns
of Cranbourne West and Geelong. Customers are
welcome to pick up turf or, if you live in Melbourne
or on the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Ancos
fleet of trucks makes daily deliveries. The company
can also supply turf to some areas of country Victoria,
including Warrnambool and Bairnsdale.

WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY BEING
spent on treated pine each year to build decks,
pergolas, garden beds, outdoor settings and more,
its surprising that little is known about the threat
posed by using regular galvanised products in
treated timbers.
Galvanised fasteners are currently the option
most customers settle for when using treated pine,
but this is by no means an ideal choice for those
seeking to secure a long-term investment. In order
to build to last, a treated pine-specific fastener is
required when using treated pine and Australias
leading retail hardware supplier, ITW Proline, has
the answer.
ITW Prolines Zenith treated pine bolt range
utilises a newly developed and patented coating
technology known as Tech-Shield to protect the
bolt from the chemicals found in CCA- and ACQ-
treated timbers, which cause accelerated rusting in
galvanised materials.
This new innovation is a world first and involves
the fusing of the uniquely developed coating onto a
current Zenith Hot Dipped Galvanised bolt, helping
to prolong the life of the fastener when used in
treated pine.
Tech-Shield guarantees to provide a minimum
of twice the protection and double the lifespan
when used in treated pine, in comparison to regular
galvanised bolts.
In addition to providing a comprehensive treated
pine bolt range, Zenith fastener products aim to
make the project experience an easier one, with
detailed product information and application advice
on all product packaging, better meeting the needs
of consumers.
Zenith treated pine bolts are now available in
all leading retail hardware stores.

Times have changed. We now have species of
bamboo that will not run rampant in a garden.
Clumping bamboo is not new; its just that they
are not well known in Australia. Most clumping
bamboo varieties are tropical but there are several
varieties, such as Gracilis and Alphonse Karr, which
are well suited to our cooler regions and make for

Latest infrared electric outdoor heating
The latest US technology in infrared electric outdoor heating is currently making

the quartz electric heating system is exclusively imported by Keverton Outdoor.
The key to the powerful heating output lies in the quartz electric element,
says Kevertons managing director, Kevin Smith. The element reaches full
capacity in just 90 seconds and, because of the infrared medium wave electric
ray, is not affected by wind.
The company imports sizes from 2kw output through to 8kw output and,
because its manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel, the Infratech
heating system is ideal for coastal or humid conditions. With the introduction

JUST FOR A MOMENT, THINK ABOUT THE
remarkable changes that have taken place in
landscape construction over the past 50 or so years.
Open a copy of a garden magazine from the 1950s
and compare it with the landscapes portrayed in this
edition of Outdoor Design & Living to see the changes.
Variety of factors
These changes have come about for a variety of
reasons. Drought is one example. Unplanned and
unwanted, drought conditions focused the public
and the landscape industry on finding better ways of
building landscapes. It also spurred manufacturers to
release innovative new products that have had an
ongoing influence on the way landscapers work.
International garden events are another catalyst
for change, introducing new ideas. International
travel has also had an impact as homeowners
roam the globe visiting exotic resorts and bring
back ideas and suggestions that inform the way
landscapes are designed and constructed here.
A changing industry
Landscapers are also always on the lookout for
new ways to do things. Government changes have
had a bearing on this, especially in the education
of young people entering the profession who are
encouraged to keep abreast of changes. For those
already in the industry, keeping pace with change is
just as important.
Up until the 1940s, changes in landscape
construction were relatively slow but as the years
progressed and people became financially able,
greater demands were placed on landscapers to
deliver more sophisticated gardens.
There are many garden styles and one is the
natural landscape, which has an untouched by
humans look about it. This style can be adapted for
any size of garden, which is critical as block sizes
have shrunk over the years, ushering in a variety of
changes in the way we design and build landscapes.
The built landscape
The larger block sizes of the past enabled those
interested in gardening to explore horticultural
pursuits, but finding the time to establish and
maintain these gardens eventually became an
issue. Homeowners no longer had the time or the
expertise to carry out the work, creating a demand
for professionally constructed landscapes.
These landscapes often included more built
landscape than green life and those builders
specialising in constructing outdoor structures
became part of the industry and so began the
era of the built outdoor space. Covered areas for
lounging and entertaining became the norm and
part of Australias culture. Over the years, these
spaces have grown in sophistication, with many
now including an outdoor kitchen.
Sustainability issues
Interest in sustainability has also brought about
changes to the way we construct landscapes,
both at a home garden level and at a wider
environmental level. There has been increased
interest in repairing degraded landscapes.
In fact, some of the most remarkable work
has been done in that area, particularly in
water catchments.
A worldwide interest in sustainable building
has seen roof gardens take centre stage. This
has resulted from the heat island effect where
modern cities have huge areas of bitumen and
concrete that absorb massive amounts of heat that
in turn affect atmosphere and water catchment.
This has led to techniques that enable growing
plants across the top of buildings, thus reducing
this problem.
Finding a professional
Outdoor Design & Living showcases the latest trends
and changes in landscape construction, providing some
great ideas you can adapt for your landscape project.
You can also talk to a professional landscaper or installer
in your area about your plans and ideas. To find a local
landscaper or installer, you can visit the website for your
state Landscape Contractor Association or browse the
member list at the back of this magazine (starting page
222). And for some additional inspiration, check out
the landscaping awards showcased in this edition, too
(pages 211 and 216).
Should you require the help of an experienced
landscape contractor, installer or designer to help
put your project together, you can also check out
the Landscaping Australia Inc. website: www.
landscapingaustralia.com.au
Increased sustainability is
a powerful recent change.
