Good Planning is the key to success ⠀
⠀
Creating successful outdoor entertaining areas is about creating spaces that suit both the home 🏡 and its owners. ⠀
⠀
The owners of this home were eager to renovate their garden themselves. As they had tried three times already without much success and wasting money 💰 they decided that it was time to take the plunge and invest in having Landscape Design.⠀
⠀
DIY is not as simple as it looks, however we have made DIY as trouble free as possible with our Designs as they are very detailed and easy to follow. This allowed our clients to implement ⚒ the works themselves with a few of their friends over a 12 month period. 💵⠀
⠀
To make the space look large we carried the decking out to the newly built raised garden bed, which was built at a height to allow for extra bums on seats when entertaining larger crowds.⠀
⠀
They loved their Cordyline Australis 🌱 and really wanted to keep so they were transplanted out into the rear raised garden bed.⠀
⠀
Even though they did not wish to have a water feature we designed a feature wall, clad with stone and three pots in front for added interest. ⠀
⠀
Clever lighting by @thegardenlightcompany also means that this space remains a pleasure even when night falls.⠀
⠀
The result proves DIY success can be achieved if there's professional help in the planning stages.Simple changes but effective. What do you think?⠀

After this amazing "winter" ⛈ we have had we don 't know about you guys, but we would be very happy sitting by this outdoor fire, to be all nice and cozy sipping on a lovely glass of red 🍷with family and/or friends. ⠀
⠀
Ethanol and gas fireplaces 🔥 can can work well in spaces both large and small and can create such a wonderful atmosphere, ambience and be very mesmerising.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The great thing about ethanol or gas fire places are, they are instantly either on or off. ( love that, no chopping of wood ) plus no cleaning up ( bonus👌 )⠀⠀
⠀⠀
With a thoughtful design in the layout and positioning they can greatly extend the life of your outdoor entertaining area during the cooler months. ⠀⠀

|| Made for entertaining ||⠀
⠀
Outdoor living has become an important part of life for us. As the line between indoors and outdoors continues to blur, we desire the option of taking life outside,⠀
⠀
Outdoor living can provide a much needed space where you can disconnect and recharge physically and mentally.⠀
⠀
A word of advice is when selecting furniture choose items with a light footprint and in proportion with the space you have.⠀

Stepping back in time to 2015 we take a look at a small backyard space we did for @primahomeswa⠀
⠀
The large retaining wall at the rear was originally limestone blocks and we had these covered with villaboard and rendered to give a far more modern look and tie in with the architecture of the home 🏡⠀

A pool 💦 is only as good as what surrounds it, so it should be designed as part of then landscape, complementing the scale of the space, which will ensure its true integration.⠀
⠀
Key to any pool area 💦 is also the planting selection. Lush tropical planting was used throughout this space. The selection of Bamboo for its ability to form a dense green screen and other plants 🌿 for their foliage contrast and texture changes. When the Frangipani are bare through winter there is still a large body of green, plus the landscape from the park becomes a beautiful borrowed backdrop. ⠀
⠀
When @mondolandscapes works on a design, a pool 💦 is more than just a place to swim 🏊‍♀️ We are linking the pool with your home 🏡 creating a space for you to enjoy with your family and friends throughout the seasons.⠀

⠀
Happy 60th birthday to me 🥳 Another year older, another year wiser? Let’s see 🤣⠀
⠀
I Still can’t believe that 60 is my number. I have struggled with most of my birthdays that end in a zero. I know that’s just a psychological thing – but birthdays ending in a zero just sound that much older⠀
⠀
The years have flown by. It only seems like yesterday that I was turning fifty and dreading it. Now ten years on I’m celebrating another milestone in my life.⠀
⠀
Sixty is wrinkles - the kilos have crept on and those mongrel grey hairs and wrinkles are just not loved! I look in the mirror and think 🤨 holy shit is that me, especially when the sun 🌞 shines in just at right angle, I think where did I go? I’m actually the same person, just with an older face that carries all of my memories.⠀
⠀
Sixty is a privilege – Sixty is remembering family and friends who didn’t make it, who will never be sixty. Anyone who was not given the chance to grow old would attest to that if they could.⠀
⠀
Sixty is realising that the gift of an ordinary day becomes that much more precious with each passing year. ⠀
⠀
Sixty is having two parents’ in their eighties, and two gorgeous girls in their thirties, two beautiful son in laws and a wonderful husband who has turned sixty.⠀
⠀
Sixty is being grateful 🙏🏼 every single day.⠀
⠀
Sixty is knowing that today is a special occasion. So Happy Birthday to me 🥳 🥂

Happy Mothers Day to all the mums out there 🌸 For many of us, we won't get to spend Mothers Day with our mum's for whatever reason that is.⠀
⠀
For us, both of our mums are special. No matter how old you get, you are still a kid in their mums eyes. They have taught us right from wrong and given us great sets of values in life. ⠀
They drive us a bit crazy but that's okay as we probably drive them a bit crazy as well.⠀
They will always be a part of who we are and who we have become. We are proud to call them Mum 😘⠀
⠀
Debbie's Mum lives in Bundaberg and is also sometimes known as "Biker Nan" as in her late sixties she got a large Dragon Tattoo 🦇on her back!!! Who would have believed.......⠀
⠀
Bev's mum lives here in Perth and is always just up for any kind of an adventure and live's life to the fullest !!!!

⠀
What greeted us was a full size tennis court 🎾 that was to become a pool 💦 area incorporating a pavilion.⠀
⠀
The space presented a range of challenges and considerations to convert the old tennis court into a luxury pool 💦 zone. As access to the rear yard was not easy and the pool was dug by hand.⠀
⠀
Every aspect was considered; coordinating textures and materials, introducing easy transition between indoors and out, balancing design, functionality, viability and growth together with a long-term vision of how the space will mature,⠀
⠀
The owners had a couple of very large golden cane palms, and a pony tail which needed to be included in the design, along with a feature plumeria. The two golden canes 🌴🌿were reused in the raised garden bed within the pool area along with additional palms, and the mature plumeria was planted at the south end of the pool.⠀
⠀
The existing patio was painted white and extended before being paved with @ecooutdoor Garonne limestone to create the ultimate entertainer’s space.⠀
⠀
This award 🏆 winning pool💦 @barrierreefpoolsperth replaced the ageing tennis court and once again turned this backyard into an area enjoyed by the whole family.⠀
