Entertaining, low upkeep

Brief
The owners said they lacked outdoor living areas, because the garden was not conducive to entertaining.

They wanted a low maintenance garden for entertaining. It also needed to withstand the regular attentions of their dog.

Luckily, the area is shady in summer and sunny in winter.

What we did
Weeds were replaced by eucalyptus mulch, firm enough for tables and chairs, and wide steps to be used as extra seating.

We built a terrace garden attached to a new garage, with planter boxes of flowers.

Garden beds filled with native plants and some exotics edged in Sydney sandstone create a lovely nook to sit in. The effect is completed with tree forks and fences hosting Dendrobium orchids, elkhorns, staghorns and climbers.
