|| Small buy mighty ||

When space is at a premium and a larger swimming pool is out of the question then a plunge pool is a great solution when it comes to small garden spaces.

You still get all the benefits of cooling down on a hot day or a place to gather with friends and a glass of something chilled.

If you get it right, a plunge pool can increase both the aesthetic and resale values of your home.

|| There's never a better time to get outside ||

The summer months are synonymous with being outside. Here in Australia 🇦🇺 we have a pretty fabulous climate that allows us to enjoy our outdoor living spaces nearly all year long.

Having a great outdoor space is like having your own mini-oasis 🌿to come home to. It can be a space where you can relax, spend time with your family, and host friends and will make you more likely to spend time outdoors. Easily becoming the ultimate summer hang out.

|| From design to completion ||

We just love ❤️ receiving photos from clients who are now in their happy place!

Seeing our clients living the dream in the design we create for them is one of the best parts of our work.

This was an exciting project in Hillary's and as you can see it has come up a treat!!!!

Raised planters, floating timber seat, crazy paving and a bespoke fire pit 🔥 from @firepitsandgardenfeatures all come together in perfect balance to help set the mood in this gorgeous corner of our client’s backyard.

Their space has become an urban oasis 🌿 for a family looking for a bit of everyday luxury.

|| We love us a snake plant 🐍- aka sansevieria

|| We love us a snake plant 🐍- aka sansevieria ||

Sansevierias are one of our all-time favourite plants. Commonly known as mother-in-laws tongue or snake plant they have made a huge resurgence. We love to use them in our designs, as they add great architectural form and really take no looking after. Almost impossible to kill even for the black thumb gardeners out there.
They look fabulous planted en-mass or in low pots to make a real statement. They are quite suited to many different styles of gardens. Ohh, did we also say that they look fantastic inside and thrive.

Sansevieria trifasciata is the most common species of the snake plant and is easily recognised. It is an all-green variant and is our personal favourite. It has tall, dark-green leaves with light greyish-green horizontal stripes.
It’s more tolerant of deep shade than other varieties of snake plant. It certainly looks more like a snake than other varieties and is the original form from which most other cultivars originated from. Which by the way they are supposed to be a deterrent for snakes 🐍

Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' is also a popular variety with creamy yellow leaf margins.
The vivid yellow is at its strongest in the sun and will grow less pronounced the more it’s in the shade.

Sansevieria Moonshine is another fabulous species. Easily recognised by its broad silvery green leaves. Making it a great accent plant due to its foliage colour.

Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii' ia dwarf variety growing to about 20-30cm tall, forming clusters of leaves that form a cup, similar to a bird's nest. These look super cute in round squat pots and are fantastic for in your home as well as outside.
You can also get one that is a variegated type with beautiful yellow stripes.

All varieties will grow in full sun 🌞 part shade ⛅ or very low light conditions. They are relatively slow growing.This plant is extremely drought tolerant. They don’t need a lot of water. If you water too often your snake plant will become mushy and start to rot quickly.

They are so ridiculously effortless to grow (the only thing easier is a plastic plant)

You either love 😍them or hate them🤨 Which one are you?

They say it takes seconds to fall in love 💚 with a house 🏡

From the kerb to the rear boundary each element has been designed, to ensure the space was tailored to the client’s needs.
Clean lines, beautiful colour palette make up this picture perfect curb appeal

You know street appeal when you see it. With beautiful landscaping and a welcoming approach, a home with street appeal looks loved, and It might sound obvious, but a nicely mowed lawn and a well kept garden makes all the difference.

|| Material Matters || There are soooo many choic

|| Material Matters ||

There are soooo many choices for hardscape materials beneath our feet. We are talking about colours as well as textures.

When selecting the hardscaping materials to use in your landscape design, we consider how each of these materials will compliment your home and the overall appeal of the garden that is designed. We take into consideration the durability, the aesthetic appeal such as texture and colour and whether it's natural or manufactured. It really depends on the style, vision and budget, as all of these different options in materials come with various price points.

Each one has its advantages and disadvantages and some are better suited for particular uses and locations. For example, the material that works best for your alfresco or patio might not be the right material for your pool area and surrounds.

We also love to mix and match materials to achieve the best outcome.

|| Life is Good ||

It is so easy to get caught up in life's busyness that we can so often forget to enjoy each day. Life is all about continuous change and is a beautiful journey when you embrace it to the fullest every day. However, that doesn’t mean that we always wake up ready to jump into the day ahead. Oh no siree!!!!

We will take breaks now and then, anything to get out of doing work 🤣. Like for us when we are working in our Studio, it can be as simple as having lunch 🥯🥪outside in the fresh air, instead of being caught up having lunch in front of our computers 💻🖥 Those emails will still be there!!!

Remember each day is full of endless possibilities! yayyyyy!!!! Start it with a smile 😊Look around you and take in as much as you possibly can of your surroundings and everyday life, like the sights, the sounds, the smells, the emotions, the triumphs, the highs and lows. These can all be a part of our daily lives and we just forget they are there. Hence it is a great idea to deliberately write 📝down “life being good” as it surprisingly can give you the clarity as to what you do actually have.

WE HAVE MADE A SMALL GRATITUDE LIST ( what can you add )

Our families
Our friends
Laughter 🤣and lots of it
Being outside in nature, ( best thing ever )
Our eyes 👀so that we can see all things beautiful
Our ears 👂🏼so that can hear music🎶
Weekends that give us more time to spend on life ( yippee )
Watching the sunset in the evening and the sunrise in the morning
Morning walks or afternoon walks
Seeing rainbows
Flowers, just because🌸🌺🌼
Our noses to smell the flowers
Working from home
Books, we both love to read 📚
Sleeping in on a Sunday morning ( only joking, that doesn't happen )
The smell of fresh cut grass ( the fine notes of a good wine 🤣)
Great business partners 👏👏
Finishing something ahead of schedule (we love❤️love ❤️ this )
Being greeted by Shadow 🐕
Binging out on Netflix
Swimming in the ocean
The couch after a hard day in the garden and a very large glass of wine 🍷

We sometimes just need to remind ourselves that life is a great gift

Love from the Mondo girls, Deb + Bev xxx

|| Today is a day of Reflection ||

Officially named ANZAC Day in 1916, one year after the arrival in Gallipoli, the 25th April is the day to remember the sacrifice made by those who died during war.

Anzac Day is a time for all Australians to recognise the more than 1.5 million service men and women who have served our country in all conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations. It's also a time to remember the more than 102,000 Australians who sacrificed their lives in our country's name.

"Today we do not glorify war, but rather remember those who have served our country during conflict and crisis in hope of peace.
'They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We shall remember them."

Author Laurence Binyon

WE WILL CONTINUE TO REMEMBER
LEST WE FORGET

|| Our Planet is an amazing place ||

The theme for 2021 is 'RESTORE OUR EARTH'

Earth Day serves as a conscious reminder of how fragile our ecosystems can be, and how our actions can have positive or negative consequences on the world we live in.

It is time that we started to look after the world that we live in, which provides our food, water, and air, and we need to learn to share our world with the all the other living creatures 🦒🐘🦏🐕🐬🦈🐋🐠🐝🦅 that inhabit it.

Earth, is in trouble, ecosystems are being lost and people are starving for food and water. It is up to each and every one of us to Restore Our Earth.

We can recycle and repurpose, reduce plastic dependency, conserve water and plant more trees! trees are essential for the wellbeing of just about every living being on our planet. Planting more trees 🌳 helps to maintain healthy soils and humidity levels in the air around the world. Trees absorb air and transpire it back into the atmosphere, effectively filtering and controlling the levels of humidity wherever they are. On top of that trees naturally remove carbon and noxious substances from soil? So how good are trees 🌳🌳🌳

“if you care about climate change, pollution, plastic production, human rights, animals, fossil fuels, oceans, and the survival of the planet, you need to put such shows on your watch list, Kiss The Ground, Seaspiracy, Cowspiracy, Plastic Oceans and Brave Blue World to name but a few.

These documentary's are well worth watching,
.
We @mondolandscapes certainly care and Earth Day should be everyday 🌏

Who wouldn’t love to have an egg chair in their garden to chill out in. Hanging from a beautiful Jacaranda tree giving dappled shade is exactly what our clients have here. 🌳
