I designed the boardwalk and steps as well as the boulder garden walls used to terrace the slope. Please notice the gravel area along side the boardwalk. This is an off path sitting area. The boulders were used to create a natural bench. Bragar Landscape not only builds rustic gardens, I am versatile and can fit the landscape to the owner's preferred style.

Plongé au coeur d'un jardin d'ombre, protégé par la présence d'un majestueux érable, le visiteur s'émerveille des jeux de textures, des contrastes et des associations végétales qui se révèlent progressivement à lui.

The east side of the yard features a raised trough planter against the architectural screen, and wrapping around the corner of the deck. This helps to envelope the outdoor living furniture; along with the overhead pergola this creates a sense of containment. Photo credit: Tracy Granger

Surrounding a stunning black and white-clad multi-storey weatherboard home in Auckland’s Remuera was a garden that was somewhat lacking in vigour. It consisted of planting, some larger trees, and a lack of flow, character or consistency. So when the clients, a retired couple, decided to rejuvenate their tired outdoor space, they approached Zones Landscaping specialist Kate Ryan. Kate’s brief was to create something stunning and vibrant with a tropical resort feel. Set against the striking black and white exterior of this home, the planting needed to be bold yet considered to have the desired effect. Bursts of colour throughout the planting help to tie the overall scheme together and create the striking element sought in the original brief. “We used a lot of sub-tropical plants – birds of paradise for the orange colour, giant bromeliad for their rusty red colour, and lots of greens and yellows as well as rain lilies, which when in flower will create a blanket of white.” The house is located down a long, shared driveway so importance was placed on creating character at the main pedestrian entranceway to the home. Kate managed the initial brief, design phase and then the landscaping itself through until delivery, with the project delivered on time and on budget to clients who say they are thrilled with the modern, striking planting and impressive entranceway. The special feature designed in corten steel is the entrance gate and fence. This mirrored the pattern in the garage door and added a unique feature. A back lit corten cut out of the house numbers adds a perfect addition for the entrance. The clients love this look coming into the property.

Premium Garden with Decking Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your front garden design.

How should I design my back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
