Sloping Garden Design, Perth
This project took place in a mature garden with a steep slope.
Consultation & Concept
The large mature garden was on a two way slope so the plot was unusual and challenging.
We had previously carried out various landscaping projects on the site and these had served the clients well for many years.
The clients now wanted to update and improve the patio area and replace the surrounding retaining wall using more contemporary materials. Some areas had become slippery in the winter.
The clients also wanted to replace the steps at side and front of this elevated property with double width steps in keeping with the new materials.
Various materials were considered for practicality and style.
Garden Features
Our design incorporated:-
- The main patio area extended and replaced using grey Towngate smooth sandstone paving.
- The surrounding wall replaced and faced with Tegula walling and capped with Towngate sandstone copes.
- Further walls built and clad in Tegula walling to create a large raised bed at the front of the patio.
- Double width steps laid at the side of the house leading to the patio using matching materials.
- At the front, walls replaced and double width steps laid, again using matching Tegula walling and grey Towngate sandstone.
