Who says your front gate has to sit in line with your fence?

By setting the entrance back from the street, there’s an opportunity to create something far more interesting than a straight boundary. Here, the recessed gate, layered planting and generous stone paving turn the approach to the front door into a considered part of the landscape.

It’s a detail worth thinking about if you’re designing a new front garden.

A garden doesn’t have to be all straight lines.

Curves can soften a space, create interest and bring a different perspective to an otherwise structured landscape. And there are more opportunities to introduce them than you might think.

From the shape of a swimming pool or lawn to something as simple as stepping stones, planting or a curved edge, we’ve gathered 10 ideas from our landscape designs to inspire your own.

Save this one for your future garden plans.

An outdoor kitchen that feels every bit as good as the one inside.

At our Brighton project, there’s plenty of outdoor kitchen inspiration, from the generous preparation space and built-in appliances to the curved cabinetry and beautiful stone surfaces.

It’s the sort of setup that makes cooking outside a genuine pleasure, with everything close at hand and plenty of room for everyone to gather.

A closer look at outdoor kitchen design in Brighton.

Choosing your pool tiles? The colour you see isn’t necessarily the colour you’ll get.

Take this swimming pool at our Drake Residence project in Brighton. The water is a beautiful pale blue, but the mosaic tiles underneath are actually white.

It’s one of the interesting things about selecting a pool finish. The colour of the tiles is only part of the equation. Water depth, sunlight, reflections and even the surrounding materials can all influence the colour you see once the pool is filled.

It’s worth remembering when you’re choosing tiles from a small sample. What looks perfect in a showroom can look quite different across an entire swimming pool.

For this Brighton garden, white mosaics were paired with pale stone paving and the home’s curved architecture, allowing the water to provide a subtle contrast without introducing another strong colour.

The problem with fast-growing hedges? Sometimes they just don’t know when to stop.

When privacy is the priority, it’s tempting to choose whatever will grow the fastest. Depending on growing conditions, some fast-growing hedges can need trimming up to 8–10 times a year.

That’s a lot of maintenance for something you planted to make life more comfortable.

Slower-growing varieties can often provide denser, more manageable screening over time. The trick is choosing a plant that suits the height you need, the space available and how much maintenance you’re willing to take on.

We’ve put together a guide to nine of our favourite screening plants, including what to consider before planting.

A little mystery makes a garden more interesting.

A path that disappears around a corner, a glimpse of another space beyond the house, planting that partially obscures what’s ahead.

There’s something appealing about a garden that doesn’t reveal everything at once. It gives you a reason to keep wandering.

An outdoor shower is one of those little luxuries that can earn its place in almost any garden.

Beside the pool is the obvious spot, but it’s certainly not the only one. Tucked into planting, hidden behind a wall or screen, or given a space of its own, an outdoor shower can become a really lovely part of the garden.

Privacy is usually the starting point, but what you see from the shower matters just as much. Planting can make the space feel enclosed without completely closing it in, while stone, timber and aged metal tapware tend to sit naturally outdoors.

Sometimes it’s for rinsing off after a swim, sometimes it’s after the beach, and sometimes it’s the quickest way to get the sand off the kids, the dog or the surfboard before any of them make it inside.

There’s something about seeing the before photos that brings a project back to where it started.

This garden has changed completely, but many of the clues to the new landscape were already there. The levels, the relationship with the house, the different areas of the backyard and even where you moved between them.

The difference is what happens with all of that.

Generous steps now move through planted levels, the outdoor kitchen has transformed what was once a paved area beside the house, and each part of the garden feels connected to the next.

Sometimes the most interesting part of a before and after is seeing just how differently the same site can be designed.

Straight lines were never going to have all the fun.

For this new Canberra landscape, the architecture gives us some strong geometry to work with, so we’ve introduced curves through the garden to play against it.

The circular spa cuts into the long pool, while the rounded form of the sauna picks up the same language at the other end. Around them, lawn and planting soften things further without competing with the architecture.

We don’t find ourselves designing in Canberra very often, which makes this one particularly nice to have underway.
