25.01.2022 Ahh Daphne! My favourite (do I say that a lot?) sweet smelling shrub! The fragrance and delicate petals of this little beauty is worth picking and popping in a vase, it will keep your house smelling beautiful for days #daphneodora #houseandgarden #mydecorvibe #prettyinpink #fragrantflowers #vignettestyling

24.01.2022 Budget for your landscaping! Majority of home owners/buyers put all their money into the house and neglect to consider the outside until the house is finished. Considering your front garden is the first thing people see it needs to be factored in as much as the house.... Pictured is a new build in Denman Prospect, we have given this house the absolute basics to enable the new residents to plant out and add to over time. #canberralandscaper #exteriorsmattertoo #canberralife #canberragardener #houseandgarden #beforeandafter

24.01.2022 Colour Selections. Whether it be internally or externally getting your colour palette right is pretty important to the end result. In our first unit of design we used nature to reference our colour choices - I still use this method today and love how many influences nature has on the finished product.... #colourselections #homedecor #colourschemes #houseandgarden

24.01.2022 Getting there Working on that street appeal! Next on the agenda; tiling the porch area, choosing a new balustrade and building a step to the deck.

24.01.2022 He works hard for the money Channeling Donna Summer on this balmy Friday afternoon! The boys are putting in some hard yakka to get this garden ‘back to beautiful’ for our gorgeous owner in Hawker. Before and Afters to follow.

23.01.2022 Street Appeal #3 I should probably wait till we’ve completely finished the facade on this one for maximum impact, but considering there are 10 years between shots here we can always do another instalment right? The garden is my favourite part and I love watching it grow and come into fruition! ... Every plant was well thought out for the size it would eventually grow into as well as the variety of flowering times so that we always have colour and interest throughout the year. #beforeandafter #housefacade #gardengoals #canberragardener #canberralandscaper #frontpath #deckdesign #streetappeal #frontfacade #weepingcherry #privacyscreen #styleinspo

23.01.2022 Landscaping in challenging working conditions can bring out the bad guy in some people - not our team! They worked through and delivered a beautiful space for this lovely couple in Kambah...regardless of rain, sunshine, wind...

21.01.2022 The Green Room The entire colour palette for this room was inspired by the green velvet lounge. Having that one ‘hero’ piece and making everything else work around it is key to this space.... #mydecorvibe #mydecorstyle #homebeautiful #sundayvibes #hercanberramagazine #green #greeninteriors

21.01.2022 Happy Friday peeps

20.01.2022 Fast growing hedges! If you’re sick of seeing your neighbours washing or want to walk around starkersa hedge is a great ‘green wall’ solution! The two most popular shrubs locally are pittosporum and photinia, and are available in many different varieties. Photinia has a beautiful red foliage, whilst pittosporum has a silvery sheen to it and a much smaller leaf in the variety pictured.... You can start out with small shrubs and nurture them (they don’t need much love) until they are established like the ones pictured, or you can buy larger ones for instant screenage ! Make sure you plant out at least 900-1m apart. #canberragardener #canberralandscaper #hedging #hedgingsolutions

19.01.2022 Another beautiful mid century find from So Last Century. These beautiful one off pieces make any room shine! #midcenturydecor #houseandgarden #interiorstyle #myinteriorstyle

18.01.2022 Real Grass! (Don’t get crazy, I’m talking about turf) Synthetic grass definitely has its place but nothing can beat the real thing, it keeps the ground cool, it’s lovely to sit on and looks amazing Now’s the time to do it peeps!

17.01.2022 My favourite revolving shelf...always changing with books being returned or lent and a trailing plant is a must #shelflife #mydecorstyle #indoorplants #homebeautiful

17.01.2022 Landscaping for Investment. It’s nice for renters to have a well looked after and functional interior but adding value to your exteriors frequently gets overlooked. The lucky tenants getting this landscaping make over are overjoyed to have a great space for the dog and kids to run around in, keeping them in a long term rental, and the owners gaining more security and value in their investment...win, win!

17.01.2022 Ok, so some pretty basic landscaping here but it makes all the difference to the end result! A simple garden edge delineates the space and allows you to plant out at your leisure, it also stops the grass growing in around your border shrubs/trees making it easier to mow. #canberragarden #canberragardener #basiclandscaping #landscapingideas #gardenedging

16.01.2022 I’m so much in demand now that I’m having to travel to Sydney’s northern beaches to work (ok, truth be told... this is my sister’s family home). This beautiful family has been doing it tough having been separated due to Covid so a HUGE wall full of family photos can be enjoyed until they are all back together again. When there are 5 children and a large extended family, one wall wasn’t big enough...and apparently that’s not all of the photos Not a bad spot to be having to ...‘work’ all weekend. We had some fun too #gallerywallinspo #family #familyphotos #homebeautiful #styleitupdesign #interiorstyle #beforeandafterhomeedit

14.01.2022 A wee bit of hedging and pruning brings this space from nice to amazing in a couple of hours

13.01.2022 Basil is loving that we are all outdoors with him again! If you need help making your outdoors an enviable space to be in, give us a call!

11.01.2022 Privacy. We’ve just quoted on a job for a family that have bought their house only to move with multi level apartments next door. A privacy screen is a good option and can be planted out in front to create interest and colour. #canberralandscaper #privacyscreen #canberragardener #houseandgarden #outdoorliving

10.01.2022 Magnolia x soulangiana These spectacular trees are bursting into flower around Canberra and other cool climate regions surrounding us. They are by far my all time favourite tree with their incredible flowers followed by beautiful shady foliage in the summer.

09.01.2022 Blue Steel Happy Friday Peeps...bet you wish you had this guy in your garden

09.01.2022 Favourite Space. This gum tree find is the stuff dreams are made of #myhomestyle #vintagestyle #homebeautiful #gumtreefinds

08.01.2022 Kitchen Goals! A quick before and after (with about 2 years in between) of our kitchen. We took out some walls, moved it to the far wall for more space and flipped the bench to give us the 3m island we wanted.... It’s the hub of our home and worth the angst and dollars spent!

07.01.2022 They wanted a beautiful and functional soccer field...we gave them one! This lush lawn is going to be great for entertaining, playing sport and basically just rolling around on and enjoying its lush-ness! Get your turf on... #canberralandscaper #canberragardener #lushlawn #backyardsoccer #houseandgarden #lawngoals

07.01.2022 Another cool climate fav...the magical Weeping Cherry - Prunus ‘Snowfall’ #coolclimatetrees #prunuscerasifera #weepingcherry #floweringtree #canberragardener #canberralandscaper

04.01.2022 Prunus sp. Is anyone else as excited as I am about seeing these beautiful trees burst into flower? It symbolises so much... we’ve nearly made it through another winter ... we can nearly pack away all those heavy jackets, beanies, scarves we’ll be sipping margarita’s by the pool before you know it #canberragardener #coolclimateplants #canberralandscapes #prunusspecies #nearlyspring

04.01.2022 Do you prefer a wild, unstructured garden or do you lean towards the more formal side of things? The plants you chose are imperative to the style of garden you want. As is the way the space is landscaped from the get-go, you need to get your design right first. #canberralandscaper #canberralife #canberragardener #hangingchair #quietspot #wildgardenstyle

02.01.2022 Loving this space! Want something similar? We can help!

02.01.2022 Even the dog is impressed by this paving! These beautiful travertine pavers are perfect for around the pool or any outdoor entertaining area. #canberralandscaper #outdoorentertaining #travertinepavers #pooltiles #dalmation #houseandgarden #outdoorstyle #cutedog

01.01.2022 Spring Clean Just a wee portion of the work carried out to this garden to give some front door appeal. The beautiful elms at this property take a lot of the water and nutrients from competing plants, so replacing a small strip with pebbles and some hardy lomandra gives a lovely streamlined finish with little maintenance.

01.01.2022 This bedroom was made over for Seana’s birthday but it’s rare that it’s cleanso got in there today and took some photos. Great space for a 13 year old - I asked for a ‘wish list’ and did my best within a tight budget. The ‘hanging chair’ unfortunately didn’t make the cut... #teenbedroomideas #homebeautiful #beforeandafter #prettyinpink #bedroomstyling #bedroomdecor #bedroomideas

01.01.2022 This living room has had a transformation in the way of removing the old oil heater, a bit of paint and some fab styling
