Better Homes and Gardens (Australia)
Inspired by nature
Natural materials feature heavily throughout this landscape, with the use of railway sleepers for steps and crushed earth-coloured granite for the flat areas and landings. Left exposed to the elements, these textures will become more appealing with time as they gradually weather. The stand-out feature of this garden is the effective use of sloping contours. Terracing gives the space a sense of dimension and anchors the garden zones. There’s an area designed for entertaining, a space to relax and play areas for the kids – which includes a surprisingly spacious lawn area.
