Aralia’s innovative approach to garden design runs through all of our projects including those of a more traditional nature. We specialise in beautiful, traditional gardens appealing to those with a more classical approach to garden design. Though better known for our Roof top Terraces; we pride ourselves on our completion of designs for country houses including Victorian Townhouses, Grade II listed homes, and rural country cottages. Both commercially and residential, we aim to create unique and extraordinary spaces that are diverse in their uses. Aralia aim to break our designs free from the cliché of ‘traditional being boring’, and instead aim to create new and exciting landscapes. From entertaining spaces, to classical family hubs; Aralia transforms clients’ gardens and outdoor spaces. Aralia creates gardens with a traditional feel via our choice of materials, style and planting. We always take on board the architecture, surrounding landscape, and local aesthetic to make sure our designs partner well with all existing components. We are proud to have succeeded in our ventures into traditional garden designs, with Aralia having won many awards for our rural gardens, including the 2013 BALI Landscape Design Excellence Award (Little Eden), and the 2014, SGD Finalist for Best Small Residential Garden (Regents Park House).

Nancy Rodgers This front driveway needed widening at the entrance and it also required a parking space that also doubled up as a turning circle. The circular feature is attractive in itself and means that the driveway is not only practical, but also looks good.

Who says bold brights are just for kids? Lush garden greens and zesty yellows set against warm neutrals frame a dramatic textile wreath, the focal point in this fresh feeling bedroom that combines simple, modern furniture with organic shaped lighting and accessories, and soft furnishings inspired by nature.

Dee McQuillan, Ivy & Bloom A large terrace was created flowing out from the main living area with a custom built gas fireplace being the central feature. The large concrete pavers were jointed with mondo grass to provide a permeable surface and will help to soften the appearance of the terrace once they mature. A formal hedge of alder trees will provide a leafy backdrop to the garden and the fireplace. The level changes on the site allowed for a separate raised seating area to be created above the main terrace using recycled holland pavers. Another informal seating area, using peastone, was created below the terrace and borders a small productive garden and utility area. The two seating areas benefit from the shade from the mature macadamia tree (existing). The masonry wall and fireplace will be painted to match the house and the wall will be softened by plantings of dichondra 'silver falls'. Planting bays were created within (and slightly below) the terrace with bullnose pavers to soften the edge and give it a floating effect. Two feature trees, Pyrus Calleryana "Bradford" (Ornamental pear) will provide shade in summer, stunning autumn foliage and blossoms in spring. These are underplanted with pittosporum "elfin" balls and white agapanthus. The driveway extension was removed to allow for a larger lawn space. A large planting bed was created for the existing mature macadamia tree on the lawn edge. Planting under both macadamia trees included oak leaf hydrangeas, snowball and annabelle hydrangeas, burgundy and silver heucheras and white agapanthus. A stepping stone path follows the contour of the house to provide access to the driveway and will largely disappear once the dietes grandiflora mature.
