Welcome Bed

A generous bed beside the entry combines soft foliage and compact flowering shrubs. Plants are set back from the path and driveway so mature growth leaves the arrival space clear.

Low Flowering Carpet

Spreading grevilleas and small flowering natives replace a strip of lawn. The design allows for their mature width, with a few open stepping points for weeding and seasonal care.

Strappy Rhythm

A broad curved bed repeats clumps of lomandra and dianella, with kangaroo paws in the brightest section. The foliage provides a steady framework as the flowering stems rise and fade.
