Bracken Ridge
A complete transformation for this backyard that previously consisted of a pool with a huge amount of concrete around it. It was very hot, was overlooked and the pool required repairs. Horte Couture came up with a cohesive design that would help screen neighbours and disguise the fence, provides two different seating areas and softens and cools the whole garden with lush tropical planting and new lawn.
The pool has been renovated to bring it up to date with fresh silver travertine paving laid. A new pergola provides shade and somewhere to relax next to the pool.
A raised garden bed with built-in seating and a fire-pit that doubles as a coffee table, provides a new conversation zone that can be enjoyed year round.
Lush tropical style gardens complement the renovated pool and provide a relaxing outdoor space for this contemporary home.
Outdoor garden lighting enables this garden to be enjoyed well after dark.
This garden is now a joy to be in and is used by the owners on a daily basis. The garden has been planted with tropical style planting that will have a cooling effect and offers a sanctuary from busy lives.
