With a simple picture saved from a magazine, Lowndes Landscapes worked with the client to adapt and deliver this classic landscape concept. Timber edging combined with deep gravel and garden areas to break up and redefine this house frontage. Tiny retaining laws create an optical illusion of infinity edged lawns looking downhill. Lawn areas have been redone and smoothed, an irrigation system installed, and a deep gravel ‘moat’ placed next to the house to reduce maintenance, erosion, ugliness and remove the risk of termite attack for years to come.

The concept image, great call! Stone, wood, mulch and turf. Edging breaks up the edge, gavel makes a maintenance free edge while protecting the house from termites. Magnolias and Scaevola aemula (Fanflower) new cultivars make for a classy low maintenace combination. The edging creates this ‘obstacle illusion’ in the lawn from the driveway. Deep gravel to discourage parking on the verge. Three cheers to the client for seeing the potential of this site! Previously there were large trees planted right up against the house. Good for screening perhaps, bad fro termite control and foundations!
