Simplicity often creates the strongest impact.

Dymondia margaretae softens the hard edges of these grey granite stepping stones, creating a natural connection between the built landscape and the surrounding planting. The subtle silver-green foliage complements the stone tones while providing a durable, low growing groundcover that thrives in sunny positions.

A well-considered landscape is about more than individual materials and plants—it's about how they work together to create a sense of balance, texture and calm.

From overgrown and underused to a space designed for outdoor living.

This difficult access site presented its share of challenges, but the end result was well worth the effort.

Curved cobblestone paving, custom seating, cantilevered umbrella, layered planting and an integrated BBQ area brought together to create a functional and relaxed garden retreat.

Thoughtfully designed and constructed and built to be lived in.

There’s a quiet kind of luxury in spaces like this…

A place to sit without urgency.
To breathe a little deeper.
To let the world carry on without you for a while.

Just a place to slow down and be.

Transforming a raw, sloping and previously disconnected space into a resolved and highly functional landscape, this garden now forms a considered link between the home and pool area.

At our St Ives project, Australian hardwood decking establishes a warm and durable intermediate platform, gently negotiating the change in levels while extending the home’s outdoor living space. Organic bluestone stepping stones, set within decorative pea gravel, introduce a natural rhythm and subtle sculptural quality to the journey through the garden. Framed by lush native planting, the composition feels grounded, cohesive and effortlessly connected to its surrounding environment.

It’s lovely to head back to a project a couple of years after completion and see how a garden has grown in to the design. The teak battens are softening to grey and the Tractor Seat plants have filled a difficult space beneath the steps.

Ground cover plants are used to create a soft aesthetic to what may otherwise feel like hot and hard surfaces. Dichondra repens (commonly known as kidney w**d) surround these limestone stepping stones.
