Coastal Life

Contemporary coastal garden design featuring succulent roof planting, Agave and mature olive tree, by Secret Gardens Gordons Bay Sydney

This was the second project with our client and our first opportunity to work with Milieu Creative. A substantial renovation to the home required a similar approach with the garden. All external finishes were reviewed and the planting was completely refreshed. The plant species were selected to stand up to the harsh conditions experienced in this coastal location, not only facing directly east to the ocean, but on the western side where they needed to withstand the hot afternoon sun.
