Set in the Dandenong Ranges, this unloved backyard suffered from a tired look incorporating old pavers, sunken damaged lawn. The client wanted a contemporary, stylish and low maintenance backyard that would lend itself to entertaining and alfresco dining. The design was to incorporate a number of adjoining paved areas linked by pathways, abutting low maintenance lawn and garden beds. The garden beds were to be decorated with soft grasses, small shrubs and select rocks.
