Modern coastal garden

A father and daughter take on an enormous project to create the perfect family home, just a stone’s throw from Bondi Beach.

Creating a dream backyard whilst living along the Australian coastal environment can be quite a challenge. See this beautiful coastal garden.

The sandy dunes of Sorrento, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, are hardly what plant-lover’s dream about. Combined with cold, wet southerlies, hot northerlies and the salt laden air, even the most experienced of gardeners would find establishing a garden here almost impossible. But landscaper Steve Taylor has worked his magic and created a stunning, unique Mediterranean garden which is full of inspiration. With ornamental pears, stone walls and loads of beautiful green plants, there is so…

Sorting out a multi-level garden with beds sporting vibrant, low-growing plants has made this coastal patch in Torquay a standout.

A covered deck linking every part of this coastal home has kept a Sydney family close.

Making the switch from exotics to natives completely transformed this garden and both the owners and local wildlife are reaping the rewards. See more.

A coastal garden design has to cope with exposure to the elements but has a weathered charm and relaxed appeal that you can recreate wherever you live

Oyster Catcher is nestled in NSW’s South Coast (with private beach access!) where the serene waterfront landscape takes centre stage.

A clear vision and plenty of patience create an idyllic backyard oasis with beautiful angles and stunning landscaping at every turn.
