Hardy plants is a good foundation for any garden with repeat planting, foliage colour and texture is a great start to any project.

Small garden & patio areas create some green spaces by using pots or troughs. Use small leafed plants not to make the area smaller.

Apartment Blocks

Spa area graph shows native planting which is low maintenance. A feature wall creates privacy and a screen from wind. Having a path with stepping stones creates a direction to walk. Planting with a variety of native plants with different foliage colour and texture gives you all year round interest.

Creating garden levels to help protect more sensitive plants from sea salt spray or frost can be created by larger plants/trees of feature walls.

I loved Sheryl's visit and all the advice she gave me was fantastic. I felt quite overwhelmed with our garden design, but Sheryl made it very easy to understand how and what to plant. I feel so much more confident now to work in our garden and always remember lots of things she mentioned while I'm working. Sheryl went above and beyond  and I was so grateful that she came out to our place. Thanks again Sheryl!

Sheryl came out to do a consultation on my gardens I have a lot of them. In the time she was here I got a detailed plan for all of them, wow what a great service. I have started implementing them and it’s looking great. Thanks so much to Sheryl I had no idea what to do before she came out the service was worth it’s weight in gold.

Sheryl did a fantastic job designing my landscape... beautifully worked in the low maintenance hardy flax's and grasses with other natives. She really knew her stuff and I always had total confidence in rolling with her recommendations...I carried on where she left off but always maintained a consistency to the original theme she laid out...thanks Sheryl!

Sheryl has a wealth of knowledge regarding landscape design, what materials and textures to use, and appropriate planting to create a contemporary look.  She gave us an overall design for our pool area and surrounds, that incorporated some of our own ideas but with some additional design features to add clean lines and simplicity.  Sheryl was very responsive to our needs and gave us exceptional service.
