Spring Gardens, Swimming Pools & Water Features

Spring is here, so i thought i would concentrate on some beautiful gardens. To me a picture can tell a thousand stories!

Why not have up lighting placed in the timber deck ? Water and lighting are a fantastic kinetic aspect to have in your garden. Look at this simple swimming pool!

Why not buy some new Sunlounges for your area outside the swimming pool?

An edge to the garden does not have to be only one level. Try building the plant levels up like this garden bed with Hydrangeas!

If you are lucky enough to have a "Walk" in your garden... look at this beautiful array of colour that have been grown over arches. Try Roses and boganvillea .

This is a Knot garden with Box hedge...... You would have to be very good with the garden hedge clippers!

Why not look at incorporating you vegetable garden into the entire garden

Make this water feature a central figure from the dining room or lounge room window. It is better to always highlight it at night with lighting.
This is a great design in Paul Bangay's garden he had in Woodend. It is right beside the house, but it is separate. The pitched ceiling is lined with timber and had a beautiful iron chandelier. Note the small hedge around the base of the out-side-room. It covers up the concrete edging. 


I love large Grecian Urns and water. I love the use of large paving, Lilydale Toppings and the hedging around the pond.

This is a Bali styled bedroom 

Look at Vertical gardens when room is tight outside... great for apartments! You could do this with your herbs!

Colourful Boganvillia... it covers alot of ugly things

A lovely tropical swimming pool
