A Garden Makeover in Stanmore
After completing a successful garden transformation for the neighbouring property, we were invited to work on this Stanmore backyard following a major home renovation. The brief was to create a green, welcoming space that would soften the architecture and make the most of the available light and aspect.
Natural Stone & Strong Structure
To bring shape and texture into the garden, we constructed a raised garden bed and clad it in natural stackstone. This material gives the space a timeless look and pairs beautifully with the soft finish of the pavers. We used tumbled limestone throughout the backyard — its subtle variation and aged feel help tie the garden to the home’s modern updates while keeping the overall look relaxed.
Drainage That Works With the Landscape
As with many Inner West gardens, drainage was a key consideration. We installed a new system to manage runoff and ensure the space remains usable throughout the seasons. By integrating drainage into the overall layout, we were able to protect both the plantings and the structure of the garden without compromising the design.
A Lush, Tropical Planting Palette
The planting design focused on creating a leafy, tropical atmosphere with a mass of hardy, low-maintenance species. Walking Iris, Gingers, Bromeliads and Philodendrons were chosen for their vibrant foliage, movement, and ability to thrive in Sydney’s climate. Over time, these plants will fill out the space and add colour and texture year-round.
Repurposing Pots & Planting for Privacy
The clients had a collection of established pots that we repositioned throughout the garden to help tie the old and new elements together. As a finishing touch, we planted an advanced Magnolia tree to screen the rear boundary and provide dappled shade — offering privacy while keeping the space feeling open and green.
A Backyard Built to Grow
This Stanmore gardening project is a great example of how thoughtful design and smart plant choices can transform a compact space into a private, leafy retreat. With structure, texture and layers of greenery, the garden will continue to evolve beautifully over time.
