KICKING BACK

We acknowledge the Gadi people, the traditional custodians of the land and waters on which this landscape sits.


The existing site was disjointed and unusable, due to excessive level changes and unsafe retaining walls. The goal was to simplify the garden, achieving a usable open space for the kids, a large family-sized swimming pool and outdoor dining space off the house. The sandy soils of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, limited access to the rear and dramatic level changes between neighbouring properties made the construction of this pool and garden an exciting challenge.

The site was excavated with levels pushed backwards towards the rear boundary, allowing for an extension of the paving, a built-in BBQ and large open lawn. The pool structure itself was used to retain an intermediate level. Wrapping sandstone and rendered walls were used to support the neighbouring properties.

Bluestone pavements were selected for their blue/grey tones, while Australian sandstone was used to create the backdrop to the swimming pool, when viewed from within the house. Due to the neighbouring properties sitting higher, privacy was achieved through planting, with Weeping Lilly Pilly and Bamboo Slender Weaver selected for their tall but narrow forms. The entertaining areas were then finished with outdoor furniture settings by Tait.
