PRE-SALE GARDEN ENHANCEMENT PROJECT
Brief:
To tidy up the existing garden, select plants and instal lawn edging that enhances the overall effect of the outside space, adding value to the property.
Approach:
To create a simple design with plants that can handle extreme conditions, provide structure and texture. We selected locally available plants including a range of succulents at the entrance with Lomandra ‘Misty Green’. The internal garden features a Ficus tuffy hedge with a Kowhai tree in the corner for future shade and screening, and Westringia brevifolia which can be pruned into cloud mounds, punctuated with Lomandra ‘Frosty Tops’. Opposite this, Eriostemon ‘Flower Girl’ is mass planted with Dicondra ‘Silver Falls’ below. Along the trellis Trachelospermum jasminoides was selected to provide the future owner with options to have it climb or maintained as a ground cover.
