Lock & Key

 

The Lock & Key is an Australian-rustic style garden, with an emphasis on sustainability and trans-seasonal living. This space, designed to be enjoyed by the whole family, is inviting, versatile and most importantly low maintenance, fitting in perfectly with our clients busy lifestyle. 

This space has a striking impact considering its conservative design, which is in thanks to the almost primitive hardscape palette made up of railway sleepers, recycled whitewashed bricks and at the heart of it all, a bespoke floating timber bench seat.

A clustered planting style throughout the garden works to establish depth and texture, by creating asymmetrical layers and levels that are well considered in their design.

Throughout the entire process, from our first meeting through to the design planning, construction and now ongoing maintenance of our new garden, the whole team have been professional, on time, on budget and overall great to work with. If you want to realise your home garden dream, we would have no hesitation in recommending Outdoor Escape Landscaping.

The weaving and overflowing of several plant species provides a garden that is filled with intricacies and interest, while allowing each plant species to forges individual dominance and importance within the space.
