Kangaloon

Stacked stone wall topped with Miscanthus grasses below a dark timber-clad house, with mature pines and lawn, Southern Highlands NSW

Located in the Southern Highlands, this was our second project for this Sydney based family and our first with Emma Lee Architecture.  A sprawling property, our scope here was extensive and included the driveway approach as well as all areas surrounding the home. The existing garden was entirely removed, and we then introduced stone walling, crushed gravel and stone flagging pathways to define and connect the various areas of the garden and entry points to the home.  A variety of seating areas, firepit, bbq area and kitchen garden were softened with a planting scheme that provided a little bit of romance.
