Thoughtful Construction for Rural Simplicity

This Doonan landscape blends rural charm with functional design, offering a large flat lawn, open pool views, and easy-care gardens with automatic irrigation.

A Landscape Built for Family and Function

At this rural Doonan property, the client envisioned a large, usable outdoor space where the family could enjoy time together, particularly with room to kick the footy.

The challenge lay in working with the property’s natural slope while creating a flat, open lawn.

Through precise grading and significant earthworks, we established a generous, level lawn area directly off the house.

This created an open and inviting space for play, relaxation, and gatherings.

Minimal Disruption, Maximum Views

With stunning views surrounding the home, it was essential that the pool area remained as open and uninterrupted as possible.

Our pool landscaping design was intentionally low-profile, integrating carefully positioned hard surfaces and subtle planting to reduce the need for excess pool fencing.

The result is a pool zone that feels open, connected to the view, and elegantly understated.

Simple, Sustainable Planting

The client requested a garden that was easy to maintain while still softening the built areas and connecting with the rural setting.

We delivered a pared-back planting palette, focused on hardy varieties suited to the environment.

Paired with feature pots and natural textures, the garden adds visual interest without demanding ongoing attention.

Smart Irrigation and Practical Infrastructure

To support the health of both the lawns and gardens, an automatic irrigation system was installed.

Designed for efficiency, the system ensures consistent coverage with minimal water waste.

This gives the family peace of mind that their landscape will stay vibrant year-round without manual upkeep.

Planning and Precision in Construction

Delivering this project required expert planning.

The logistics of moving large machinery through a rural block with limited access were carefully coordinated to avoid delays.

By working with experienced tradespeople and trusted local suppliers, we ensured the entire project was executed to a high standard while respecting the natural flow of the land.
